Material-dialogs: Styles attributes for title and text color

[timbremer]

([x] becomes a filled in checkbox, [ ] is an empty one)

• [x] I have verified there are no duplicate active or recent bugs, questions, or requests
• [x] I understand that versions below 2.0.0 will no longer be supported for updates.
• [x] I have given my issue a non-generic title.
• [x] I have read over the documentation (before asking questions on how to do something).

---

Include the following:

• Material Dialogs version: 2.0.0-alpha09
• Affected device: All

Also, please wrap your code with correct syntax highlighting (not just indents).

MaterialDialog(this)
                        .title(R.string.attention)
                        .message(R.string.choose_screen)
                        .positiveButton(android.R.string.ok)
                        .show()

<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/black</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/white</item>

---

Reproduction Steps

Obsolete, happens always

---

Expected Result

Text should be a darker color

---

Actual Result

Text is either white or transparent

This happens with all dialogs we implemented, and we just can't figure out why. We checked all styles, colors and Kotlin files for wrong configurations, but all seems to be fine.

The text color is set in styles here: https://github.com/afollestad/material-dialogs/blob/b571da41183cb57420a48592669f514296befc66/core/src/main/res/values/styles.xml#L50

Which is taking ?android:textColorSecondary from the dialog's base theme (would be Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert). This shouldn't be possible 🤔 have you tried it on other devices?

[timbremer]

Tested on 4 devices and various different emulators. Let me know if you need more info!

[afollestad]

I can't reproduce on my Pixel 2 XL or emulators, at least not with the sample project.

There must be something in Screener affecting it somehow 🤔

[afollestad]

You have <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/white</item> above, is that in your Activity theme?

[timbremer]

That was actually the cause. When testing, we missed changing the v23+ styles. However, removing that style would affect many other elements in the app. Do you think custom text colors could be something for a future release?
