I'm looking for an Option to design the context menu for an edit text. So, if you have an Activity with an Edittext and you make a long click on it, at the top of the screen the context menu (containing cut, copy, ...) pops up. How can I change the Background color?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

If I change it to

<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">

The menu gets a dark background instead

What style attribute I have to change to set it to e.g. orange?

You should rather use an ActionMode IMHO. Anyway, what "background color" are you referring to? – shkschneider Jun 12 '15 at 11:59
@shkschneider: the background of the context menu poping up if you long click on an edittext – MD1948 Jun 12 '15 at 12:02
You would need to provide some code here... – shkschneider Jun 12 '15 at 12:05
There is no code right now. It's just an edittext. And I don't know how to set the background from the menu poping up between the Android statusbar and the actionbar of my app. (cut, copy, ...) – MD1948 Jun 12 '15 at 12:08

Ah ok, got it all wrong. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/19659779/603270 https://stackoverflow.com/a/1596453/603270 – shkschneider Jun 12 '15 at 12:11
Edited the question. Tried your links but didn't work out. – MD1948 Jun 12 '15 at 12:29
