I am building an app with backwards compatibility so I have to use a preferences activity instead of a preferences fragment. Everything works great but i'm struggling with some theme issues.
I use the following in my SettingsActivity.Java
//Create the settings toolbar
LinearLayout root = (LinearLayout)findViewById(android.R.id.list).getParent().getParent().getParent();
Toolbar bar = (Toolbar) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.settings_toolbar, root, false);
bar.setTitleTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.textColorPrimary));
root.addView(bar, 0); // insert at top
bar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
finish();
}
});
to create and display a custom toolbar within my settings activity. I then have a settings_toolbar.xml:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
app:theme="@style/AppTheme.Dark"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:navigationIcon="?attr/homeAsUpIndicator"
app:title="@string/action_settings"
/>
and a settings.xml file:
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<PreferenceCategory
android:title="@string/pref_cat_app"
android:key="pref_key_storage_settings">
<ListPreference
android:title="@string/pref_default_title"
android:summary="@string/pref_default_prompt"
android:key="defaultProvider"
android:defaultValue="1"
android:entries="@array/providerNames"
android:entryValues="@array/providerValues" />
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
which displays this...
Question is Why is the arrow black? I cannot seem to change the color of it no matter how I alter my themes. I can make all of the bar text and arrow white by changing my primary text color, but my app background is white so options text will be white also and not show up.
