My xml file

Answer 1

For a switch add this to your styles.xml file:

 <style name="x" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small"> <item name="android:textColor">#33CCFF</item> </style> 

Two options:

• add this to your XML file layout:

   android:switchTextAppearance="@style/x" 

• add this to your Activity class after instantiating your switch :

   switchInstance.setSwitchTextAppearance(getActivity(), R.style.x); 

_{Note: path to styles.xml : Project Folder > res > values > styles.xml}

Answer 2

When you create an instance your EditText or TextView in the Activity code, you can set TextColor or Background Color .

Ex.

 import android.graphics.Color; // add to top of your class TextView x = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.y); x.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("red")); // one way x.setTextColor(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0)); // another way x.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("colorString")); x.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(red int value, green int value, blue int value));
