Texts in the editText fields are not visible in dark theme

[megamendhie]

The texts in the text input fields turn white when the phone is in dark mode. They blends with the field's background and become difficult to see.

HI @megamendhie
Thanks for bringing this up. Please share sample screenshots of the affected screens

[megamendhie]

@jeremiahAI Here's it. There are numbers there but they are all white so can't be seen.

I'm facing the same issue. Someone please provide with a solution to this problem.

[jeremiahAI]

Thanks, @venusaim23, please can you share what android version you're experiencing this on?

[venusaim23]

@jeremiahAI I have android 9 on my phone. The min SDK of my app is 23 and target 30

Same issue.
On dark mode, text cant be seen on EditText field. (Its white on a white editText Field).

This is so because my app doesn't implement dark mode. (Using MaterialTheme.Light)

Tried customizing the the theme by setting
android:textColor to black...Didnt work

Is there a way to pass a Boolean to prevent Dark theme from changing the display? If Boolean is false, don't change the in-app theme to black. This is because my Toolbar text and EditTexts become unseen because of Dark theme, and my application only changes theme when the user wants to.

Edit: android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml

replace this line:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar"> with this: <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
