android popup menu text color (AppCompat)

Question

I need to change text color of a popuo menu but I don't find any way for do this, I can change background of popmenu but not the text, I edit the style.xml in this way:

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- API 14 theme customizations can go here. -->

    <item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/MyPopupMenu</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">@style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall</item>
</style>

<style name="MyPopupMenu" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">#0F213F</item>
</style>

<style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Base.Widget.PopupMenu.Small">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>

<style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Base.Widget.PopupMenu.Large">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>

where is the mistake?

Answer 1

<item name="textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.Widget.PopupMenu.Large</item>
<item name="textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.Widget.PopupMenu.Small</item>

I think that you are using TextAppearance.AppCompat.Base.Widget.PopupMenu. Here is the error, you are using another parent that doesn´t response the current style.

You have to use:

TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.Widget.PopupMenu.
