In my application, I am using sub-menus to group some elements together (see XML below). It works fine on devices without a hardware menu button, but I am having issues with devices with an hardware button.
When it works, I can click on "Sort" in the menu, and it display a new menu in place of the first one with the corresponding option.
When it does not, a dialog opens with the sub-menu options. This dialog has a light theme with white texts, so it is unusable. Is there a way to make it behave the same way as on device without a hardware menu button? Or at least have a correctly styled dialog?
I found this https://stackoverflow.com/a/11438245, but it feels like a hack, and does not seem to work for all devices.
