I try to change the text color of the entry from a Xamarin Forms Prompt. I tried giving a default color for the Entry control in the App resource dictionary:
<Style TargetType="Entry">
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="White"/>
</Style>
I also tried providing a style in the styles.xml
file of the Android project:
<style name="MainTheme" parent="MainTheme.Base">
<item name="android:colorActivatedHighlight">@android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#FFFFFF</item>"
<item name="colorAccent">#FFFFFF</item >
<item name="alertDialogTheme">@style/AppCompatAlertDialogStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="AppCompatAlertDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Dialog.Alert">
<!--buttons-->
<item name="colorAccent">#ffffff</item>
<!--title-->
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
<!--text-->
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#ffffff</item>
<!--selection list-->
<item name="android:textColorTertiary">#ffffff</item>
<!--background-->
<item name="android:background">#000000</item>
</style>
And yet no success. It just remains black, and I would like to change the default black to other color that would match my theme (green for instance). I don't care if the solution is cross-platform or not, as my project only targets Android for the moment, that's why I tried the styles.xml
approach. I guess there is a key for the dictionary of the style, but I just can't find it. Any idea how could I achieve this?
I would go with custom Prompt, which is really simple to create. Here is an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" x:Class="TestPrompt.MainPage">
<AbsoluteLayout Padding="0" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Button Text="Display Prompt!"
VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
Clicked="OnButtonClicked" />
</StackLayout>
<ContentView x:Name="popupView" BackgroundColor="#C0808080" Padding="10, 0" IsVisible="false" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0, 0, 1, 1" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All">
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" HeightRequest="150" WidthRequest="200" BackgroundColor="White">
<ContentView Padding="12, 0, 0, 0" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<Label FontSize="16" FontAttributes="Bold" TextColor="Green" Text="What is your name?" />
</ContentView>
<Entry TextColor="Green" FontSize="16" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalOptions="End">
<Button Text="OK" TextColor="Green" FontSize="16" BackgroundColor="White" TextTransform="None" Clicked="OK_Clicked" />
<Button Text="Cancel" TextColor="Green" FontSize="16" BackgroundColor="White" TextTransform="None" Clicked="Cancel_Clicked" />
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ContentView>
</AbsoluteLayout>
</ContentPage>
In C# you just need to do something like this:
void OnButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
//This will show the pop up
popupView.IsVisible = true;
}
private void OK_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
popupView.IsVisible = false;
//Your stuff here
}
private void Cancel_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
popupView.IsVisible = false;
//Your stuff here
}
As you can see, you are able to control here everything. This is how this example looks like:
I think you have to give the TargetType a Name.
for example x:Key="AEntry"
In App.xaml
<Style x:Key="AEntry" TargetType="Entry">
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Green"/>
</Style>
In Mainpage.xaml call Style
<Entry Style="{StaticResource AEntry}" />
