I want to change the look of my Android app's preference screen to white background and dark text color...
In my Activity i set


I get white background but text color is too white ((
How can i change text color to black?

The easiest way would be to set the theme (and only one) in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

I try so:
Here is my AndroidManifest.xml:

background on my SettingsActivity is white and text color is too white ((

Another way:
i create my custom theme:

here is my SettingsActivity.java:


Here is my AndroidManifest.xml:



Here is my style.xml:


But I get white background and text color is too white ((

Where do you apply the MyTheme style? Do you use any other styles?
I'd suggest to start with something simple and go on from there to see where it breaks.

i am sorry..
i apply MyTheme style in AndroidManifest.xml for SettingsActivity



I use other styles too. But for other activities.

Then it should be

Code: Select all

<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light">

You definitely interfere with the default styles somewhere. Just for a hack, try this:

Code: Select all

<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light">
    <item name="android:textColor">#000</item>
</style>

At least you should be able to see the text.
By the way, looking at the source code it appears that preferences use textAppearanceLarge and textAppearanceSmall. Try these instead. Here is your example:

Code: Select all

<style name="MyTheme"  parent="@android:style/Theme.Light>
    <item name="android:textAppearanceSmall">@style/MyDefaultTextAppearance</item>
  </style>
       
    <style name="MyDefaultTextAppearance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small">
            <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
            <item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
            <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
          </style>
