Apply a custom theme on a LinearLayout

I'd like to apply a whole custom theme on a LinearLayout.

I'm using the SlidingMenu of https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu and I'd like to apply the Hol theme while the rest of the application would be in Holo.Light.

My actual styles.xml contains :

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- API 14 theme customizations can go here. -->
</style>

<style name="SlidingTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo">
</style>

My code to attach the sliding menu is :

    // configure the SlidingMenu
    SlidingMenu menu = new SlidingMenu(activity);
    menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT);
    menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN);
    menu.setBehindWidth(200);
    menu.setFadeDegree(0.35f);
    menu.attachToActivity(activity, SlidingMenu.SLIDING_CONTENT);
    menu.setMenu(R.layout.slidingmenu);

How can I apply my theme to my LinearLayout ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  style="@style/SlidingTheme" >

<Button
    android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
    android:layout_width="187dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_action_group"
    android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_action_group"
    android:text="@string/customer"
    style="@style/SlidingTheme" />

</LinearLayout>

My goal is to apply the style (holo dark) to only the SlidingMenu or my linearlayout (and its content). I have the feeling I can't apply that on my LinearLayout.

You can apply themes to Activities or Fragments, or even to the whole application.
This is done inside the AndroidManifest.xml file.
So, do something like this in your manifest:

<!-- Apply the common theme for the whole application -->
<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.your_theme"
    android:installLocation="auto"
    >
    <!-- ... -->
    <!-- This activity has its own theme -->
    <activity
        android:name="com.your_company.your_app.your_other_activity"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.your_other_theme"
    />
