    <p>The application I've been developing uses ActionBarSherlock, and the main theme inherits from Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar. The design requires that the overflow menu popups have a dark coloured background and white text. This works fine for devices without a physical menu button, and the text appears white as intended. However, if the device DOES have a physical menu button, the text shown in the menu displayed remains black.</p> <p>My main theme contains</p> <pre><code>&lt;item name="android:panelBackground"&gt;@drawable/menu_hardkey_panel&lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>...Where @drawable/menu_hardkey_panel is a dark coloured 9patch.</p> <p>The resulting appearance of the menu popup is... <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bAV5w.png" alt="Light.DarkActionbar issue"></p> <p>I'm unable to determine why this is happening, or how to manually change the colour of the text. In my main theme, I've tried all of the following...</p> <pre><code>&lt;item name="android:actionMenuTextColor"&gt;@android:color/white&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu"&gt;@style/MyMenuTextAppearance.Large&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu"&gt;@style/MyMenuTextAppearance.Small&lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've even tried</p> <pre><code>&lt;item name="android:actionBarWidgetTheme"&gt;@style/Theme.MyApp.Dark&lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>...Where Theme.MyApp.Dark is...</p> <pre><code>&lt;style name="Theme.MyApp.Dark" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock"&gt; &lt;item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle"&gt;@style/DropDownListView&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="dropDownListViewStyle"&gt;@style/DropDownListView&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> <p>None have let me change the text to white. If I make my base theme inherit from Theme.Sherlock, the problem is solved and the text is white, but unfortunately that's not an option.</p>

    3. COI have an HTC Sensation with ICS and a menu button. I tested code from Commonsware at https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/EmPubLite/T7-ActionBar, which uses Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar, but I don't have the problem you're describing. Maybe you want to try that code (it's a very small program) and see if you have the problem in that app, too, or indicate how it's different from yours.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
