Material-calendarview: Is possible to change selected day text color?

[marcello-marabita-mblabs]

First thanks for the component, is excellent and very complete.

I'm trying to change the text color of the selected day and just found the setSelectionColor property but it changes the color of the round form.

You can use app:mcv_dateTextAppearance (or the Java setter) to do this. I still need to document how this should be done ( #76 ), but for now you can copy the default implementation and modify as you need. Essentially you need to supply a android:textColor that is a color state list with your desired colors.

Add a style:

<style name="TextAppearance.MyCustomDay" parent="android:TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Small">
    <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/my_custom_day_color</item>
</style>

and create color/my_custom_day_color.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:enterFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"
    android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime">

    <item android:state_checked="true" android:color="SELECTION_COLOR" />
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="SELECTION_COLOR" />
    <item android:state_enabled="false"  android:color="#808080" />
    <item android:color="@android:color/black" />
</selector>

then set app:mcv_dateTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.MyCustomDay"

Hi @dandc87, Thanks for very fast response
I resolved using a decoration specific to change the selected date:

public class OneDayDecorator implements DayViewDecorator {

    private CalendarDay date;

    public OneDayDecorator() {
        date = CalendarDay.today();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean shouldDecorate(CalendarDay day) {
        return date != null && day.equals(date);
    }

    @Override
    public void decorate(DayViewFacade view) {
        view.addSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED));
    }

    /**
     * We're changing the internals, so make sure to call {@linkplain MaterialCalendarView#invalidateDecorators()}
     */
    public void setDate(Date date) {
        this.date = CalendarDay.from(date);
    }
} 

And adding on calendar view:

        mCalendarView.addDecorator(mSelectedDayDecorator);

Hello @Marabita . I am trying to use your solution but I guess I do not fully understand your solution. I created decorator class and set it to my calendar view but the result is still the same. Can you help me please..
