Change Datepicker dialog color for Android 5.0

Question

Is it possible to change the datepicker (and also the timepicker) colour scheme for android 5.0?

I've tryed setting the accent colours, but this doesn't work (both with and without android:):

<!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/purple</item>

<!-- colorPrimaryDark is used for the status bar -->
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/purple_tint</item>

<!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for colorControlActivated
     which is used to tint widgets -->
<item name="colorAccent">@color/purple_tint</item>

From original:

To something like this:

Answer 1

<style name="AppThemeDatePicker" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/select2</item>
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/select2</item>
    <item name="android:datePickerStyle">@style/MyDatePickerStyle</item>
</style>


<style name="MyDatePickerStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Material.Light.DatePicker">
    <item name="android:headerBackground">@color/select2</item>
</style>

Answer 2

I had the problem that time picker buttons have not been seen in the screen for API 24 in android. (API 21+) it is solved by

<style name="MyDatePickerDialogTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.Dialog">
            <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary2</item></style>

<style name="Theme" parent="BBaseTheme">
         <item name="android:datePickerDialogTheme">@style/MyDatePickerDialogTheme</item>
</style>

Just to mention, you can also use the default a theme like android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Light_Dialog instead.

new DatePickerDialog(MainActivity.this, android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Light_Dialog, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
    //DO SOMETHING
    }
}, 2015, 02, 26).show();
