Changing the color of dialog multichoice items

Question

I'm creating an alert dialog that has a couple multi choice items on it, and I want to change the color of the checkbox to better fit with my app's theme. Here is a picture:

You can see how the multi choice items are in their default green color, whereas my EditText has the correct accent color. Here is my code for creating the dialog:

public class OrderDrinkDialogFragment extends DialogFragment
{
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {

        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(DrinkDetailActivity.activity);

        //set dialog title
        builder.setTitle(R.string.dialog_title);

        builder.setView(R.layout.order_drink_dialog);

        //MultiChoice for double shot and mixed with soda
        builder.setMultiChoiceItems(R.array.dialog_checkboxes,null,
                new DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which, boolean isChecked)
                    {

                    }
                });

        Dialog dialog = builder.create();

        dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.DialogAnimation;

        return dialog;
    }
}

Here is my XML file that I'm setting the layout from (order_drink_dialog.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/username"
        android:inputType="text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/order_dialog_name_padding"
        android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/order_dialog_name_padding"
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/order_dialog_name_padding"
        android:hint="@string/dialog_name_hint"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        />
</LinearLayout>

I've searched online extensively, and all I can find are people using alternatives like CheckBox and CheckedTextView but none of those give the look or the proper functionality that I want. I want the exact same textbox, but with a background that is my app's accent color instead of the default green.

Answer 1

Set alert dialog theme as the second parameter of AlertDialog.Builder constructor. On my emulator(Nexus 5), following code works fine.

    public class OrderDrinkDialogFragment extends DialogFragment
    {
        @Override
        public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {

            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this, R.style.MyAlertDialogTheme);

Also you need to add accent color to theme.

<style name="MyAlertDialogTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material.Light.Dialog">
    <item name="colorAccent">#E91E63</item>
    <item name="android:colorAccent">#E91E63</item>
</style>
