I want to use the NumberPicker component-widget but Instead in the default Holo theme I need to replace the blue color with orange since that is the default color in my styling. How can I replace the blue color and the color of the numbers,and keep all of the functionality of the component? the default number picker in Holo thanks

Unfortunately, you can't style it. The styles and styling attributes for NumberPicker are not present in the public API, therefore you can't set them and change the default look. You can only select between light and dark theme.

As a solution I would suggest to use android-numberpicker library instead. The library is basically a port of NumberPicker extracted from Android source codes. But it's better than that, it also backports NumberPicker to Android 2.x. The library can be easily styled.

To style the divider adjust NPWidget.Holo.NumberPicker style and its selectionDivider and selectionDividerHeight attributes.
To style the text adjust NPWidget.Holo.EditText.NumberPickerInputText style.
