actionMenuTextColor desn´t work

[Jesús Gumiel]

I can´t change the color of the text of my menu :(.

This is my code:

<style name="Theme.Custom"
parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.ForceOverflow">

<item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/
Theme.Styled.Custom</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/orange</item>

<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/
Theme.Custom.Title</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/orange</item>
</style>

<style name="Theme.Custom.Title">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/orange</item>
</style>

It doesn´t work to change the textAppearence of the titile neither.
Any idea?

I´m testing with a galaxy nexus 4.0

Did you solved it ? I need to define action menu text color.

[Paul]

You have to enter the attribute in the general theme, not in the
actionbar style. This works for me:

<style name="My.Theme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
        <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@android:color/white</
item>
</style>

[Fabien]

Thank you but it does not work for me :
<style name="KTTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/red</item>
</style>

That affects ICS only. You should also add a non-android prefixed version to apply it to pre-ICS.

<style name="KTTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
       <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/red</item>

       <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/red</item>
</style>

Thank you but I removed all my theme content and I exactly
copied/paste your code. There is no effect on the text color of the
action bar menu !

[Fabien]

Do you know why I've no text color changed ? Are you sure it works for you ?

I can confirm this.  Seems like ABS doesn't honor either of the following:

        <item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.MyTheme.Widget.ActionBar.Menu</item>

        <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/my_color</item>

        <item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.MyTheme.Widget.ActionBar.Menu</item>

        <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/my_color</item>

[Fabien]

Jake, are you able to reproduce this bug ?


2012/5/14 Mike Carter <carte...@me.com>:

[Tim]

I'm seeing this issue too, has it been accepted as a bug?

[SimonVT]

If the android:-prefixed attributes are not picked up on ICS, then this is not an ABS bug.

[SimonVT]

I just tried, both attributes works fine. Defined directly in theme set in manifest.

[Fabien]

Sorry, I don't understand.

Could you give us an example ?

I add this in my theme :
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/red_light</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/red_light</item>
</style>


2012/5/22 SimonVT <sim...@gmail.com>:

[Tim]

Yeah I've done likewise and see no change in the UI. Could you give us any pointers?

Cheers,

TIm

[Jonathan Steele]

did you add it to android:theme in Androidmainfest.xml?

[SimonVT]

Add the attributes to your theme, set it in manifest.

<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">

    <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/red</item>

    <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/red</item>

</style>

<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/MyTheme">

[Fabien]

Thank you, I do what you described but there is no effect on my application !

I had the same problem with "android:actionMenuTextAppearance" not
working even when it was in my main theme and testing my app on a
Nexus. I'm not sure if its the correct solution, but after looking at
the source code for action bar, I used
"android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu" instead for my custom menu text
appearance. Alternatively, you can just add <item
name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">?android:attr/
actionMenuTextAppearance</item> and then your
"android:actionMenuTextAppearance" should work. I'm not sure how this
affects other parts of your app though, so use it wisely, and make
sure to check your app on older versions of android too. I use a
values-v11 folder for my new action bar themes and styles.

[chris]

I also found that override "android:itemTextAppearance" changed the
text in the action menu as well. Like my other solution, I'm not sure
how it affects other parts of your app or menu's on older OS's.

<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">?android:attr/
actionMenuTextAppearance</item>

<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">@style/

MyCustomActionBarMenuTextAppearance</item>

[Fabien]

Thank you Chris !

Jake, could you give us the best practice to set the action bar menu
text color ?

Fabien

Jake ?

[Calimero]

Doesn't work for me neither the attributes actionMenuTextColor and actionMenuTextAppearance

[Fabien]

Indeed, I didn't found a solution yet.


2012/8/1 Calimero <julien.c...@googlemail.com>:

[Jean-Baptiste Lernout]

This seems to work :

   <style name="MyTheme parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">

        <item name="textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/MyActionMenuTextAppearance.Large</item>

        <item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/MyActionMenuTextAppearance.Large</item>

        <item name="textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">@style/MyActionMenuTextAppearance.Small</item>

        <item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">@style/MyActionMenuTextAppearance.Small</item>

    </style>

    <style name="MyActionMenuTextAppearance.Large" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.PopupMenu.Large">

        <item name="android:textColor">#FFC0C0C0</item>

    </style>

    <style name="MyActionMenuTextAppearance.Small" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.PopupMenu.Small">

        <item name="android:textColor">#FFC0C0C0</item>

    </style>

[Fabien]

Thank you very much but it doesn't work for me (4.1 and 2.3)

Calimero, did you try too ?

Fabien

The parent has to be 
Theme.Sherlock.Light as Jake mentioned above

This works for me:

<style name="KTTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
       <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/red</item>

       <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/red</item>
</style>

[Roman Truba]

Works for me, thank you very much
