button style rounded corners not working

button style rounded corners not working on android earlier than level 21
Note that I'm applying this style on the whole project

also spinner style not applied,
This screenshot show how it on android API level 21+
and the below picture shows how it be on earlier than level 21
So any idea what is wrong with this style
Note that Widget.AppCompat.Button didn't solve the problem

Instead of creating another styles.
use button background android:background="#drawable/edittext"
this worked for my in every API level.

Unable to change the Color of the Menu option on the Android Toolbar

been trying to change the color of the menu items that appear on the Toolbar.
Here is my menu xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"

styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->

<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
</resources>
I've tried using the style options but I cannot figure out how to change the color. The actionMenuTextColor & android:actionMenuTextColor do not solve the problem. It still appears black. Which looks untidy on my blue background.

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"

app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Turns out I was inheriting the wrong theme! This works for me!

Remove this line in styles.xml
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
and add this
<item name="android:textColor">#color/red</item>
<item name="android:itemBackground">#color/skyBlue</item>
Complete code :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->

popup menu items on listView are not visible

I am using an image button on ListView which shows a popup menu when clicked.
But the problem is that items are not visible.

I have tried many solutions that were asked before ( all were about toolbar menu) but none worked for me.
I defined a new style in styles.xml
<style name="itemTextStyle.AppTheme" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/colorPrimary</item>
and included it in AppTheme which didn't work.then I included it in toolbar style, menu layout, QuizFragment layout but items were still invisible.How to change the background color or item color of menu to fix this, any one will work.

Try this
style.xml
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButton</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButton</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">#style/PopupMenuListView</item>
<item name="dropDownListViewStyle">#style/PopupMenuListView</item>
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">#style/OverflowMenu</item>
<item name="actionBarDivider">#null</item>
<!-- OverFlow Menu Text Color -->
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
<!-- OverFlow menu Styles -->
<style name="PopupMenuListView" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ListView.DropDown">
<item name="android:divider">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:dividerHeight">1dp</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="OverflowMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<!-- Required for pre-Lollipop. -->
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<!-- Required for Lollipop. -->
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">4.0dip</item>
</style>
and define theme for Activity in AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name=".YourActivityName"
android:theme="#style/CustomActionBarTheme"/>

I am using only two themes files (for dark, and day)
Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar.Bridge
inside them, I have only items of the same name for both day and night, but in different colors. Found (after experimenting)...that this line is a game-changer in my case (same problem as yours) for title and menu to be white, while at the same time text on popup menu is black
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
here is the whole file, I used only this, and trying to not hard code anything.
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="Theme.Ch+++itche+++++" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar.Bridge">
<!-- Primary brand color. -->
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryVariant">#color/primaryDarkColor</item>
<item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/primaryLightColor</item>
<item name="colorOnSurface">#color/primaryColorWhiteDay</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
That is all,
Happy coding,

No Ripple Effect With SelectableItemBackground

I'm trying to implement material design to legacy code.
I want a button to have a ripple effect on click but it shows nothing.
I'm using default ?android:attr/selectableItemBackground.
this is button xml:
<Button
android:text="Wandio"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/wandio_link" />
style in values folder:
<resources>

<item name="android:buttonStyle">#style/StyleApi21</item>
</style>
<style name="StyleApi21">
<item name="android:background">?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless</item>
</style>
Never had this problem before. Can't find what I'm missing.
Any suggestions?

I tryed the same thing and I have used this in my custom button xml:
<item ><ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?android:colorControlHighlight">
<item android:id="#android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#FFBB00" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/colorAccent" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
Here is my another xml for older devices:
<item>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/fab_selected" android:state_selected="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/fab_pressed" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/fab_normal"/>
</selector>
</item>
These drawable files are just different colors of the button.

Change ActionBarTab line between items

I am working on Android project, what I can't change is line between Tab items. Now it's light white / gray, but I want to make it black. I've tried to change style ActionBar.Solid.A with background to black, but it didn't solve the problem. Before I ask question I've check several similar problems, but didn't find solution...

What you want to change is the ActionBarTab divider color. You can do it like this:
Inside ActionBarTabStyle.A definition, add:
<item name="android:actionBarDivider">#drawable/tab_divider</item>
The tab_divider drawable is an XML file as well:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromDegrees="90"
android:toDegrees="90" >
<shape android:shape="line" >
<stroke
android:dashWidth="3dp"
android:width="4dp"
android:color="#android:color/black" />
</shape>
</rotate>
Edit: An alternative solution is simply changing your Theme.A theme directly, adding:
<item name="actionBarDivider">#android:color/black</item>
Note that the android: prefix is not being used.
