    <p>I've breaking my head over this quite a bit. What I need to do is, change the style of all <code>AlertDialog</code>s in my android application - dialog background needs to be white-ish, and text needs to be black-ish. I tried creating a lot of styles, themes, and applying from the code, manifest, etc, but no success, with regard to the text colors inside the <code>AlertDialog</code>. Right now, I have the simplest of codes, set like this:</p> <p>Manifest:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>&lt;application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" &gt; </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>styles.xml:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>&lt;style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"&gt; &lt;item name="android:alertDialogStyle"&gt;@style/DialogStyle&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;style name="DialogStyle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"&gt; &lt;!-- changing these background stuff works fine --&gt; &lt;item name="android:bottomBright"&gt;@android:color/white&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:bottomDark"&gt;@android:color/white&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:bottomMedium"&gt;@drawable/dialog_footer_bg&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:centerBright"&gt;@android:color/white&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:centerDark"&gt;@drawable/dialog_body_bg&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:centerMedium"&gt;@android:color/white&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:fullBright"&gt;@color/orange&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:fullDark"&gt;@color/orange&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:topBright"&gt;@color/green&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item name="android:topDark"&gt;@drawable/dialog_header_bg&lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>The items listed below don't work (please read the comments I've put above each element):</p> <blockquote> <pre><code> &lt;!-- panelBackground is not getting set to null, there is something squarish around it --&gt; &lt;item name="android:panelBackground"&gt;@null&lt;/item&gt; &lt;!-- Setting this textColor doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Messages, title, button text color, whatever; nothing changes. --&gt; &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#000000&lt;/item&gt; &lt;!-- Also tried with textAppearance, as follows. Didn't work --&gt; &lt;item name="android:textAppearance"&gt;?android:attr/textColorPrimaryInverse&lt;/item&gt; &lt;!-- Also tried changing textAppearancePrimary, to no avail --&gt; &lt;item name="android:textColorPrimary"&gt;#000000&lt;/item&gt; &lt;!-- Also need to change the dialog title text, tried it as follows, dint work: --&gt; &lt;item name="android:windowTitleStyle"&gt;@style/DialogWindowTitle&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>The DialogWindowTitle is defined as follows:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>&lt;style name="DialogWindowTitle"&gt; &lt;item name="android:textAppearance"&gt;?android:attr/textAppearanceMediumInverse&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>So none of these is working. Can anyone tell me what I could be doing wrong, and how can I:</p> <ol> <li>Change text color for messages (content text)</li> <li>Change title text color </li> <li>Remove the panel background</li> </ol> <p>Note: I need to support API 8 (2.2) upwards. Also, I've went through most of the related question here, and google groups, but can't figure out, though I have a feeling its right under my nose!</p> <p>Edit: adding screenshot:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4ArTR.png" alt="AlertDialog not themed as expected"></p>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
