How to change the color of an AlertDialog message?

Question

I have an AlertDialog and it's message is displayed, but the color of the text is white. It blends in with the background. I've tried changing the theme but it doesn't work. How do I change the color of the message?

The relevant code:

AlertDialog.Builder builder; builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivityGame.this);  builder.setTitle("Name"); builder.setMessage("Are you "); builder.setCancelable(false); builder.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {     @Override     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {         //Submit default name, go home         boolean isInserted = myDb.insertData(defaultName, triesTaken, difficultyText);         if (isInserted) {             Toast.makeText(MainActivityGame.this, "Your name was submitted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();         } else {             Toast.makeText(MainActivityGame.this, "Error, your name wasn't submitted\n Have you entered a default name?\n Go to Settings/Default Name to set it up", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();         }         Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivityGame.this, MainActivity.class);         startActivity(intent);     } }); builder.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {     @Override     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {         userName.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);         submitName.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);         submitName.setEnabled(true);         dialogInterface.dismiss();     } }); builder.create(); builder.show();

you can give style to your alert dialog like this:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity(), R.style.AlertDialogStyle); 

and the style is like always:

<style name="AlertDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">     <item name="android:colorAccent">#f3f3f3</item>     <item name="android:textColor">#f3f3f3</item>     <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#f3f3f3</item> </style>
