You need to set

<item name="android:textColor">#54D66A</item> // Add your Hex color code

Edit

You should use android:textColorPrimary

<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#54D66A</item>

You have to set color for your text bec yoyr dialog background color and text color is same so text is not visible, set

<item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>

You can achieve it by applying theme to your dialog.

Use android.R.style.Theme_Material_Light_Dialog_Alert as your dialog theme. like this

builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext, android.R.style.Theme_Material_Light_Dialog_Alert);

Hope it will work.

For Android N support you should use :

<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#ffffff</item>
<item name="android:alertDialogTheme">@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.Dialog.Alert</item>

In my case, the reason is because using the "wrong" layout inflater. Spend the whole day to solve this issue :(

"Wrong" Inflater

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) Navigations.context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

"Correct" Inflater

LayoutInflater inflater = mainActivity.getLayoutInflater();

Android alert dialog text is not visible
