Change DatePicker Text Color

Question

I want to change the color of the DatePicker text.

I tried a couple of suggestions found here, but nothing worked for me. The color of the text and the selected background remain the same.

The top title bar has changed.

 <style name="MyThemeDesign" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/btnColor</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="android:datePickerStyle">@style/MyDatePickerStyle</item> </style> <style name="MyDatePickerStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Material.Light.DatePicker"> <item name="android:headerBackground">@color/orange</item> <item name="android:text">@color/white</item> <item name="android:calendarTextColor">@color/white</item> <item name="android:dayOfWeekBackground">@color/white</item> <item name="android:selectedWeekBackgroundColor">@color/colorRed</item> <item name="android:yearListSelectorColor">@color/colorRed</item> <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/white</item> <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/white</item> <item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@color/colorRed</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/white</item> <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item> <item name="android:datePickerMode">calendar</item> <item name="android:minDate">01/01/2017</item> </style>

In styles.xml :

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> ... <item name="android:datePickerStyle">@style/MyDatePickerStyle</item> </style> <style name="MyDatePickerStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.DatePicker"> <item name="android:headerBackground">@color/red</item> <item name="android:headerMonthTextAppearance">@style/MyDatePickerTextAppearance</item> </style> <style name="MyDatePickerTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1"> <item name="android:textColor">@drawable/my_color_state_list</item> </style> 

range hood / my _color_state_list.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <!-- Month color --> <item android:color="@color/yellow" android:state_selected="true"/> <!-- Year color --> <item android:color="@color/purple" /> </selector> 

If you also want to control the selected date color, add this theme to style.xml :

 <style name="MyDatePickerTheme" parent="AppTheme"> <item name="colorAccent">@color/blue</item> </style> 

In the layout:

 <DatePicker android:theme="@style/MyDatePickerTheme" .../> 

Result:
