Calendar "whites out" the current date

I'm creating an Android app for a summer module and it requires the integration of a calendar. I am able to implement the calendar, however, the current date is being whited out, and I am unable to revert it.

I've tried messing around with the color attributes of the CalendarView, but have yet to be able to fix it. Additionally, is it possible for me to customize the appearance/ theme of the calendar? I greatly appreciate any help!

Solution

Apply a theme to the calendar view like android:theme="@style/CalendarTheme",

 <style name="CalendarTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/textColorDark</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>

color accent should be the background of selected date here. You can add any number of attributes to this theme
