It looks normal on Android 4.x, but on Android 2.x devices I get just white dialog window with buttons (all text is white with default sizes)
How I can fix it?
P.S. Please, help me! I cannot publish my app because of this only...

Overriding Style XML for Component

im using Material IO and i want to Change the Text-Color of my Menu.
<resources>
...
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
...
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/colorText</item>
</style>
...
<resources>
Does exactly that. But it changes every Text Color. But i just want to Change the Color of my Menu-Text.
So i tried to change only that:
<style name="ActionBarTheme" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorMenuText</item> //android.view
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/colorMenuText</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">#color/colorWhite</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="popupTheme">#style/ActionBarPopupTheme</item>
<!-- backward compatibility -->
<item name="background">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
by writing some Thing like This.
I can change the Menu-Background this way, but i cant change the Menu-Text-Color this way. I tried everything i found on Stackoverflow but i couldnt fix this issue.

I want to make my text color white but I have no idea how to accomplish this. I'd appreciate if anyone can help me with this.
Thanks!

I got it to work.
This should be in the theme
<item name="actionBarTabTextStyle">#style/tabtextcolor</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">#style/tabtextcolor</item>
This should be where you define the tab text color.
<style name="tabtextcolor" parent="#style/Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar.TabText">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>

ActionBar has correct colors in Android 4.2, wrong colors in Android 2.3

I'm using ActionBarSherlock and HoloEverywhere in my app. I used the ActionBar Style Generator to generate my styles and then modified them a bit by hand for text colors, etc.
I'm having a problem where my ActionBar looks correct on my Android 4.2 device (that is, orange with white text), but on my Android 2.3 device the ActionBar is black with grey text.
Does anyone know what might cause this?

--------------- EDIT ----------------------
So I'm now having a problem where the action bar is taking up the entire screen on the Android 2.3 device (but works fine on Android 4.2). Do I need to remove the "android:" from the parent attributes?
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow"
When I tried this, Eclipse was unable to find the theme.

As per the official docs, you need to also declare the attributes without the android: namespace. In your case, those attributes are only getting applied to the native implementation.
