LAMW: jAutoTextView List view font

[c4p]

What would cause jAutoTextView string item list always come up with white text font on a white background? or how can you set the font on the items string list? Works OK in the demo app and shows font as black there but in my app it is white font on white background 
Also opened new project and is the same there, but fine on the demo app? 

Absolutely love this component though, need a workaround so I can use it in my app, can't find any way to set the list font to black?

Hmmm, works fine on J3 but not S4, white font on white background on dropdown (theme?), could we have a similar DroplistTextColor & DropListBackgroundColor like on jComboEditText comp?
This would be a lifesaver for me and reduce the number of components on screen for me.

Trying to change the jAutoTextView for dropListTextColor and DropListBackgroundColor.
Managed to get .pas working for jAutoTextView with droplist Text/BackgroundColor but got lost in the .java file

(theme?)

Yes!

You can see/change here:  "....\res\values" 

and "....\res\values-v11"
and ".....\res\values-v14"
and ".....\res\values-v21"

Would ideally want to change droplist background & text color, rather than playing with the theme?

jmpessoa, if you have time, I would really appreciate droplist background and font color added to jAutoTextView, this would be really useful in my app as it searches while you are typing, very useful, but on some phones shows white font with white background.

Yes, but the java API  "AutoCompleteTextView" do not support [directly] this....
Ok, in programming "all is possible" but I do not know how long I can do this yet....]

About theme: 

Go to your application folder  "....res\values-21"
the variant is here:

    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.DeviceDefault">

compare with the file "styles.xml" from demo "AppAutoCompleteTextViewDemo1"   
["....res\values-??"]

the variant is here:

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">

So, you can try a simple change....

OK, I will try this, thank you!

Works OK on Material Theme but this is v5.0 (API 21) onwards, a workaround I suppose.
Material is grey though and need to get it darker, ideally black

What about mimic "folders and content"  of demo  "AppAutoCompleteTextViewDemo1"  ???

[c4p]

Too light/bright unfortunately for the app, I want a dark background.
Using Material Theme on API21 works great with these style.xml parameters :

<resources>
  <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/primaryDark</item>
  </style>
  <color name="primaryDark">#111111</color>
</resources>
