I've added a toolbaritem in my app, however i dont see a way to change its background and text color.
<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
<ToolbarItem Text="About"
Icon="ic_action_more_vert.png"
Priority="0"
Order="Secondary"
Clicked="ToolbarItem_Clicked"/>
<ToolbarItem Text="Settings"
Icon="ic_action_more_vert.png"
Priority="0"
Order="Secondary"/>
</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
This is what I'd like changed. The black menu with white text, want to change that bg color and text color. Any idea how to achieve this?
As @Gerald Versluis suggested, you can do this by Android styling.
Firstly you can find the styles.xml
file under the values folder of Resources
in Android project:
Inside of this file, you can open this file and create a style for your menu like this:
<style name="AppToolbarTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#2196F3</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#000080</item>
</style>
Then open the Toolbar.axml
in android project
and change the app:popupTheme
of Toolbar
like this:
app:popupTheme="@style/AppToolbarTheme"
Update:
Here is the code of Toolbar
:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppToolbarTheme" />
I found a solution :https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/40529/toolbaritem-textcolor
Simple add to "styles.xml":
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor"> @color/orange </item>
I've spent hours looking for it..
