For Changing Year list item text color  SPECIFIC FOR ANDROID 5 0   Just set certain text color in your date picker dialog style  For some reason setting flag yearListItemTextAppearance doesn t reflect any change on year list    lt item name  android textColor  gt  android color black lt  item gt

The reason why Neil s suggestion results in a fullscreen DatePicker is the choice of parent theme    lt  -- Theme AppCompat Light is not a dialog theme -- gt   lt style name  DialogTheme  parent    Theme AppCompat Light    gt       lt item name  colorAccent  gt  color blue 500 lt  item gt   lt  style gt    Moreover  if you go this route  you have to specify the theme while creating the DatePickerDialog      R style DialogTheme new DatePickerDialog MainActivity this  R style DialogTheme  new DatePickerDialog OnDateSetListener          Override     public void onDateSet DatePicker view  int year  int monthOfYear  int dayOfMonth              DO SOMETHING          2015  02  26  show      This  in my opinion  is not good  One should try to keep the styling out of java and inside styles xml themes xml   I do agree that Neil s suggestion  with a bit of change  changing the parent theme to say  Theme Material Light Dialog  will get you the desired result  But  here s the other way   On first inspection  we come across datePickerStyle which defines things such as  headerBackground what you are trying to change   dayOfWeekBackground  and a few other text-colors and text-styles   Overriding this attribute in your app s theme will not work  DatePickerDialog uses a separate theme assignable by the attribute datePickerDialogTheme  So  for our changes to take affect  we must override datePickerStyle inside an overriden datePickerDialogTheme   Here we go   Override datePickerDialogTheme inside your app s base theme    lt style name  AppBaseTheme  parent  android Theme Material Light  gt                lt item name  android datePickerDialogTheme  gt  style MyDatePickerDialogTheme lt  item gt   lt  style gt    Define MyDatePickerDialogTheme  The choice of parent theme will depend on what your app s base theme is  it could be either Theme Material Dialog or Theme Material Light Dialog    lt style name  MyDatePickerDialogTheme  parent  android Theme Material Light Dialog  gt       lt item name  android datePickerStyle  gt  style MyDatePickerStyle lt  item gt   lt  style gt    We have overridden datePickerStyle with the style MyDatePickerStyle  The choice of parent will once again depend on what your app s base theme is  either Widget Material DatePicker or Widget Material Light DatePicker  Define it as per your requirements    lt style name  MyDatePickerStyle  parent   android style Widget Material Light DatePicker  gt       lt item name  android headerBackground  gt  color chosen header bg color lt  item gt   lt  style gt    Currently  we are only overriding headerBackground which by default is set to  attr colorAccent  this is also why Neil suggestion works in changing the background   But there s quite a lot of customization possible   dayOfWeekBackground dayOfWeekTextAppearance headerMonthTextAppearance headerDayOfMonthTextAppearance headerYearTextAppearance headerSelectedTextColor yearListItemTextAppearance yearListSelectorColor calendarTextColor calendarSelectedTextColor   If you don t want this much control  customization   you don t need to override datePickerStyle  colorAccent controls most of the DatePicker s colors  So  overriding just colorAccent inside MyDatePickerDialogTheme should work    lt style name  MyDatePickerDialogTheme  parent  android Theme Material Light Dialog  gt       lt item name  android colorAccent  gt  color date picker accent lt  item gt        lt  -- No need to override  datePickerStyle  -- gt       lt  --  lt item name  android datePickerStyle  gt  style MyDatePickerStyle lt  item gt  -- gt   lt  style gt    Overriding colorAccent gives you the added benefit of changing OK  amp  CANCEL text colors as well  Not bad   This way you don t have to provide any styling information to DatePickerDialog s constructor  Everything has been wired properly   DatePickerDialog dpd   new DatePickerDialog this  new DatePickerDialog OnDateSetListener          Override     public void onDateSet DatePicker view  int year  int monthOfYear  int dayOfMonth               2015  5  22     dpd show
