Material-components-android: [MaterialTimePicker] Can't customize styling for newly released timePicker

[zoubarry]

Description:

Hi, I'm testing out the newly released MaterialTimePicker and trying couple ways to customize styling without any success,

I tried something like following:

item name="materialTimePickerTheme">@style/MyTimePickerDialogStyle // in app theme

<style name="MyTimePickerDialogStyle" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TimePicker"> <item name="colorControlActivated">?attr/colorSecondary</item> <item name="colorAccent">?attr/colorPositiveButton</item> </style>

Wondering if customize styling is supported or not, where can I find a doc for the attributes I can use to customize?

Thank you!

Hi there, Material Theme doesn't really use colorAccent.

https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/blob/master/docs/theming/Color.md

The documentation should be coming.

In the meantime these are the colors that we're supposed to be using. Notice it's primary, onSurface, surface, onPrimary and others.

@ymarian thanks for the quick reply and that helps. Couple follow-up questions:

1. Is there a way to customize the background color, e.g. the clock (change onSurface will also affect the hour text color)
2. Is there a way to hide the title? SELECT TIME
3. is there a way to take out am/pm boarders?

No problem!

1. Not for now, I'll check with design if that should be supported.

2. I was just working on that, so it should be coming soon.

3. I'm not sure. Adding a dimen resource mtrl_btn_stroke_size with 0dp value or a color resource material_timepicker_button_stroke with value transparent to your App could work. The stroke is important for Accessibility so I'm not convinced we should have an easy to remove it. Let get back to you on that one.
