Drop-down list in hybrid app has black text on grey backround on certain android devices

Question

We have a hybrid app built with phonegap and jquery mobile. In one screen we have standard HTML5 select (drop-down list)

On one android device, Samsung S6 Galaxy with Android System WebView M42, the drop-down is shown with black text on grey background. See screenshot.

On all other Android devices it is shown with white text on grey background.

Are there any way of fixing this from the hybrid app?

Answer 1

This is not ideal fix, but i fixed it by switching to older android theme. In your manifest file

android:theme="@style/android:Theme.Holo.Light"
