Setting Style for control (in custom renderer for Android)

How can I set a certain style to a control?

Even though it's a XF project, I am only interested in the Android solution.

The style of the control (lets say a Checkbox) is already defined in the Android Resources.
And I am trying to write a custom renderer, that creates a native Android Checkbox using this style.

I tried
var checkBox = new InversCheckBox(Context, null, Resource.Style.MyStyle);

but that didn't work.

Any suggestions, how to apply a style to a control from a custom renderer?

cheers!
