Change CalendarView style

Question

I'm trying to add a CalendarView in my application, which uses the Theme.Light theme. The problem is, the days numbers of this calendar are rendered in white, so while using a light theme, you can't see them.

Right now, I have the following code in my XML layout file :

<CalendarView
    android:id="@+id/calendar1"
    android:layout_width="500dp"
    android:layout_height="300dp"/>

I tried to force the calendar theme like this :

<CalendarView
    android:id="@+id/calendar1"
    android:layout_width="500dp"
    android:layout_height="300dp"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light" />

But it doesn't change anything. I think I should do something with the android:dateTextAppearance property, so I tried this :

<CalendarView
    android:id="@+id/calendar1"
    android:layout_width="500dp"
    android:layout_height="300dp"
    android:dateTextAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large.Inverse" />

but it doesn't do anything either.

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

In my project I defined the attribute "android:calendarViewStyle" in my theme.

<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="@android:Theme">
  <item name="android:calendarViewStyle">@style/Widget.CalendarView.Custom</item>
</style>

<style name="Widget.CalendarView.Custom" parent="android:Widget.CalendarView">
    <item name="android:focusedMonthDateColor">@color/cs_textcolor</item>
    <item name="android:weekNumberColor">@color/red</item>
    <item name="android:weekDayTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Medium</item>
    <item name="android:dateTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Medium</item>
</style>

All styles possibilities are:

• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_showWeekNumber
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_firstDayOfWeek
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_minDate
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_maxDate
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_shownWeekCount
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_selectedWeekBackgroundColor
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_focusedMonthDateColor
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_unfocusedMonthDateColor
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_weekNumberColor
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_weekSeparatorLineColor
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_selectedDateVerticalBar
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_weekDayTextAppearance
• @attr ref android.R.styleable#CalendarView_dateTextAppearance

note: if showWeekNumber not work as xml style, you can set in the code with setShowWeekNumber(true).
