The textColor attribute isn't working. Here's my XML:

Any ideas?

use this customize PreferenceCategory class :
public class MyPreferenceCategory extends PreferenceCategory {
public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
@Override
protected void onBindView(View view) {
super.onBindView(view);
TextView titleView = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.title);
titleView.setTextColor(Color.RED);
}
}
and add this at your Pref.xml file :
<ali.UI.Customize.MyPreferenceCategory android:title="@string/pref_server" />
One solution is to make a theme for your PreferenceScreen. So in your themes.xml or styles.xml (better to put it in themes.xml) :
<style name="PreferenceScreen" parent="YourApplicationThemeOrNone">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/yourCategoryTitleColor</item>
</style>
then in your AndroidManifest.xml :
<activity
android:name="MyPreferenceActivity"
...
android:theme="@style/PreferenceScreen" >
</activity>
It worked perfectly for me.
An easy way to do this is to set the custom layout for the preferenceCategory here:
<PreferenceCategory
android:layout="@layout/preferences_category"
android:title="Privacy" >
Then set your code inside your preferences_category layout file:
<TextView
android:id="@android:id/title"
android:textColor="@color/deep_orange_500"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textAllCaps="true"/>
To change text color of preference category only set a theme to your PreferenceActivity
in your Android Manifest and make sure that colorAccent item exists. This color is taken by your PreferenceCategory
.
Actually just found out that preference category text using colorAccent
.
If your app didn't using style of colorAccent
, you can go to styles.xml
and find <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
, and change the color as you want.
Other way around will be mention the theme in your AppTheme, application level
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
.....//your other items
<item name="preferenceTheme">@style/PrefTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="PrefTheme" parent="@style/PreferenceThemeOverlay">
<item name="preferenceCategoryStyle">@style/CategoryStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="CategoryStyle" parent="Preference.Category">
<item name="android:layout">@layout/pref_category_view</item>
</style>
XML : pref_category_view
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView android:id="@android:id/title"
style="?android:attr/listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:textColor="@color/red"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
For more customization visit v7 Preferences res
Important: I am using PreferenceFragmentCompat from lib v7 Preference.
Using Material Theme, you just have to override the following property :
<style name="YourTheme" parent="@style/Theme.MaterialComponents">
<item name="colorAccent">@color/your_custom_color</item>
</style>
public class MyPreferenceCategory extends PreferenceCategory {
public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public MyPreferenceCategory(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@Override
protected View onCreateView(ViewGroup parent) {
// It's just a TextView!
TextView categoryTitle = (TextView)super.onCreateView(parent);
categoryTitle.setTextColor(parent.getResources().getColor(R.color.orange));
return categoryTitle;
}
}
And in your prefs.xml:
<com.your.packagename.MyPreferenceCategory android:title="General">
.
.
.
</com.your.packagename.MyPreferenceCategory>
Or you can also use this answer
Define your own PreferenceTheme and override colors.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="preferenceTheme">@style/AppTheme.PreferenceTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.PreferenceTheme" parent="PreferenceThemeOverlay.v14.Material">
<item name="colorAccent">`#color_value`</item>
</style>
Inspired by @AliSh answer, but I needed to only change the colour of one Preference
text item. So, for all the Kotlin guys out there:
class TextColorPreference : Preference {
constructor(context: Context) : super(context)
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs)
constructor(
context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet,
defStyle: Int
) : super(context, attrs, defStyle)
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: PreferenceViewHolder?) {
super.onBindViewHolder(holder)
context?.let {
(holder?.findViewById(android.R.id.title) as? TextView)?.setTextColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(
it,
R.color.colorPrimary
)
)
}
}
}
And then put it in your xml/prefs.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<this.should.be.your.package.TextColorPreference
android:id="@+id/settings_logout"
android:key="@string/prefs_key_logout"
android:title="@string/settings_logout" />
</PreferenceScreen>
For androidx preference library you can extend PreferenceCategory
or Preference
class like this:
class DangerPreference(
context: Context?,
attrs: AttributeSet?,
): Preference(context, attrs) {
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: PreferenceViewHolder?) {
super.onBindViewHolder(holder)
holder?.itemView?.findViewById<TextView>(android.R.id.title)?.setTextColor(Color.RED)
}
}
then use it normally in your PreferenceScreen
:
<com.github.anastr.myscore.util.pref.DangerPreference
app:key="deleteServerData"
app:title="@string/delete_server_data"
app:iconSpaceReserved="false" />
A lot of the other answers didn't work for my case. I'm using a PreferenceFragmentCompat and I didn't want to have actual code doing this. So I simply made a copy of the preference category xml file and changed the textColor field. The file goes under the Apache license, Version 2.

<LinearLayout

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingLeft"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView

And imported it in my .xml layout for the Preference fragment:
<PreferenceCategory
android:layout="@layout/preference_category_companion"
android:key="my_preference_title"
android:title="@string/my_preference_title">
