I am trying Material theme and changing the background and text color of Menu and items. Using the below style it works fine on the Toolbar, but the menu pop up while pressing device menu button shows no change in text color though the background got changed. Please help to change the text color as mentioned.
<resources>
<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="MyMaterialTheme.Base">
</style>
<style name="MyMaterialTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/accent</item>
<!-- Menu Items -->

One simple line in your theme :)
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/your_color</item>
try this create this theme
<style name="TextAppearance" parent="#style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
than apply this theme in your Activity theme like this
<style name="your_theme" parent="your_parent">
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">#style/TextAppearance</item>
</style>
or try this
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.your_menu, menu);
int positionOfMenuItem = 0;
MenuItem item = menu.getItem(positionOfMenuItem);
SpannableString s = new SpannableString("My red MenuItem");
s.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, s.length(), 0);
item.setTitle(s);
}
You can change the color of the overflow menu background by adding a new style in style.xml.
<style name="OverflowMenu"
parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyOverflowMenu</item>
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">#style/TextAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="MyOverflowMenu"
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
// note if you want to style popup menu in toolbar
step 1-- Add your theme in toolbar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:popupTheme="#style/MyPopupTheme" />
step 2-- add style in styles.xml
<style name="MyPopupTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
<item name="android:colorControlActivated">#color/red </item>
<item name="android:colorControlHighlight">#color/red</item>
<item name="android:colorControlNormal">#color/yellow</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/yellow</item>
</style>
// note if you want to style menu text color in toolbar itself
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="#style/Mytoolbartheme"/ />
<style name="Mytoolbartheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/text_color</item>
</style>
// if you use android x then toolbar is
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
app:titleTextColor="#color/white"
app:popupTheme="#style/MyPopupTheme"
android:background="#color/colorsplash"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>
Add one simple line in your theme .I hope this will solve your problem.
<item name="android:textColor">#color/button_color</item>
enjoy..

In my app, when I click on the three dot button, menu items appear in white text color on white background. I wanted to change the text color to black but it doesn't work. I've looked for solutions but none of them worked.
Here's my code:
styles.xml
<resources>
<style name="AppMaterialTheme" parent="SuperMaterialTheme">
</style>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="SuperMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/splash_background</item>
</style>
<style name="ToolbarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#000000</item>
</style>
Toolbar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="#style/ToolbarTheme"
app:popupTheme="#style/PopupTheme"
>
Where's the mistake? Thanks in advance
The menu you're asking for is called the Overflow Menu.You can change the color of the overflow menu background by adding a new style in style.xml.
<style name="OverflowMenu"
parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyOverflowMenu</item>
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">#style/TextAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="MyOverflowMenu"
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
On my main app theme I have:
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyApp.PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceLargePopupMenu
</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceSmallPopupMenu
</item>
And then I have
<style name="MyApp.PopupMenu" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/color_white</item>
<item name="overlapAnchor">true</item>
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">true</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceLargePopupMenu
</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceSmallPopupMenu
</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextAppearanceLargePopupMenu" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.PopupMenu.Large">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextAppearanceSmallPopupMenu" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.PopupMenu.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
But my popup menu appears with a white background and white letters instead of black. I have tested this by changing the background and that works fine.
So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Edit: Figured it out, my app theme has <item name="android:textColor">#color/primary_text</item> and that seems to override whatever I do on popup menu styles.
Here's an example:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupStyle</item>
<item name="textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/PopupTextAppearanceLarge</item>
<item name="textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/PopupTextAppearanceSmall</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#ff00ff</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#ff00ff</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupTextAppearanceLarge" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.Widget.PopupMenu.Large">
<item name="android:textColor">#ffff00</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupTextAppearanceSmall" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.Widget.PopupMenu.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#ffff00</item>
</style>
</resources>
Toolbar example:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
Its very late but the main reason is that the attribute android:textColor is applied to the popup menu which is defined in the main style (parent) and you can't control by defining your style for popup menu. Don't know the reason for this weird functionality but it as it is, its google .
So add <item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item> in the parent style.
I'm using a transparent ActionBar with a white title. Unfortunately the title has its own background.
This is my styles.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/app_color</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#ff077fb1</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#color/app_color</item>
<item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/app_color</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#ff077fb1</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/app_color</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/actionbar_background</item>
<item name="background">#drawable/actionbar_background</item>
</style>
Here is the toolbar used:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:sothree="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
sothree:theme="#style/MyActionBar">
How can I get rid of that blue title background?
I'm doing this when defining textAppearance in toolbar
sothree:titleTextAppearance="#style/MyToolbar.TextAppearance"
style
<style name="MyToolbar.TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/toolbar_title_text_color</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/mytransparentcolor</item>
</style>
I solved this by removing
<item name="android:background">#drawable/actionbar_background</item>
<item name="background">#drawable/actionbar_background</item>
from styles.xml and adding the background color programatically to the toolbar using
toolbar.setBackgroundColor(myColor);
I am using Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar theme. I am getting a white background for popup menu and also the color of menu item is white that makes it invisible. I tried many solutions with no success.
This is my styles.xml
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall</item>
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<style name="PopupMenu" parent="#android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
<style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.PopupMenu.Small" tools:ignore="NewApi">
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>
</style>
<style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.PopupMenu.Large" tools:ignore="NewApi">
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">25sp</item>
</style>
This is the toolbar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/toolbar"
android:elevation="8dp"
app:theme="#style/AppTheme"
app:title="Troll Cricket" />
Add these lines to your Toolbar.xml file.
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
This will allow you to have a dark toolbar and light-themed overflow menu.
I'm facing this weird problem with the bar that appears when you select a text
I'm using Appcompat v7 library the last version. This is my theme defenition:
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/material_blue_grey_800</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">#style/TabStyle</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceButton">#style/AppTheme.ButtonTextAppearance</item>
<item name="android:textViewStyle">#style/MyTextViewStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextViewStyle" parent="android:Widget.TextView">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/text</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ButtonTextAppearance" parent="#style/Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Button">
<item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
None of the colors are white, so I don't really know where it comes this white bar color and white icons.
Any clue?
In order to make the text selection actionMode background color, use the below in your style:
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="actionModeBackground">#color/dodgerblue</item>
try using the following style
<style name="customToolbar" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>
and in your toolbar add following attributes
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/primary"
app:popupTheme="#style/customToolbar"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" >
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
