preference

I have the below sample of preference items

 <CheckBoxPreference
     android:key="chkSound"
     android:summary="Sound is Off"
     android:title="Sound" />

I use a theme in the res/values to change the Summary text color

 <style name="ThemeDarkText">
    <item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
  </style>

And in the code I write this line

    setTheme(R.style.ThemeDarkText);

Its working fine in Android 2.1 but when I tried to run it on a different os (ex Android 4.0) It didn't change the summary text color just the title color only..!!

Any help?

My colors are off. Specifically, the bold version of colors 1-6 is broken: The color of each (emboldened) index should match the color of the text beside it. It does not. This is generated from this gist, modified to enumerate colors 0-15 instead of 16-256. Update: Here's what's going on: Bold… >>> More
