How to change text color and popup menu size in Android?

Question

The color of the text in the pop-up menu does not change even in styles. The background color changes relative to the color in styles.xml, but the text color and text size are not reflected.

//Creating the instance of PopupMenu PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(mContext, holder.im_overflow); //Inflating the Popup using xml file popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.list_overflow_menu, popup.getMenu()); //registering popup with OnMenuItemClickListener popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() { @Override public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) { if( item.getTitle().equals("Edit")){ callEdit(); } else if( item.getTitle().equals("Export")) { callShare(); } else if( item.getTitle().equals("Delete")) { callDelete(); } return true; } }); popup.show(); 

styles.xml

 <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"> </style> <!-- Application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item> </style> <style name="PopupMenu" parent="@android:style/Widget.PopupMenu"> <item name="android:popupBackground">@android:color/white</item> <item name="android:textColor">#FF01F0</item> <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item> </style> 

But this does not change the color of the text.

You can change the size and color of the text by adding this code in styles.xml and use it in the manifest file. It worked for me.

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item> <item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge</item> <item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">@style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall</item> </style> <style name="PopupMenu" parent="@android:style/Widget.PopupMenu"> <item name="android:popupBackground">@android:color/white</item> <item name="android:textColor">#FF01F0</item> <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item> </style> <style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.PopupMenu.Small"> <item name="android:textColor">#545656</item> <item name="android:textSize">15sp</item> </style> <style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.PopupMenu.Large"> <item name="android:textColor">#545656</item> <item name="android:textSize">25sp</item> </style>
