How to add 2 styles in a component/view in android xml

I want to add two styles in ProgressBar

Here is the xml for ProgressBar

<ProgressBar
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyle"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/progressBar"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_xxlarge_xxl"/>

I have a style defined in res/values/styles.xml

<style name="genericRegView">
        <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:layout_marginTop">@dimen/margin_xxlarge_xxl</item>
    </style>

I want to apply genericRegView to ProgressBar but as you can see the it already has a style attached with it. How can I add both?

I know I can inherit styles through names in my style XML files but ProgressBar style is ?android:attr/progressBarStyle so I don't know how to inherit it

You can inherit the ProgressBar style using parent attribute

<style name="genericRegView" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar">
    <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginTop">@dimen/margin_xxlarge_xxl</item>
</style>

And apply the genericRegView style to the ProgressBar
