Change PreferenceActivity text color

Question

I want to change the look of my Android app's preference screen to dark text color. How can I do this? (I´ve already changed the background to white color)

Answer 1

I assume you use an Activity which extends the PreferenceActivity. You can use the setTheme method to set a custom theme on your preference screen. Just define one in res/values/themes.xml.

It would look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <style name="Theme.DarkText">
    <item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
  </style>
</resources> 

Afterwards set it in your Activity:

setTheme(R.style.Theme_DarkText);
