How to change the default color of DatePicker and TimePicker dialog in Android?
Solution 1
The best way to change the picker dialog is by adding custom style to it.
<style name="TimePickerTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
<item name="colorAccent">@color/color_primary</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
</style>
TimePickerDialog timePicker = new TimePickerDialog(mContext, R.style.TimePickerTheme, fromListener, hour, min, false);
Worked perfectly for me.
Solution 2
You have to create a custom theme and save it in some directories to finally set this theme as the default one for the app
First, in values add a themes.xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">
<!-- Any customizations for your app running on pre-3.0 devices here -->
</style>
</resources>
Then, create a directory with the name "values-v11" (Android 3.0+ ) in the res directory and put a themes.xml like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<!-- Any customizations for your app running on 3.0+ devices here -->
</style>
</resources>
Finally, create a directory with the name "values-v14" (Android 4.0+) in the res directory and create a themes.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Any customizations for your app running on 4.0+ devices here -->
</style>
</resources>
Finally in your manifest.xml
<application
...
android:theme="@style/MyAppTheme">

I think there is no way to change the grey color of the old native picker widgets easily in XML.
I propose you use the library HoloEverywhere so that DatePicker and TimePicker look really nice on all Android platforms 2.1+.
Solution 4
you can change theme of your date-picker by changing theme like this.
change items according to you.
<style name="date_picker" parent="@android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.DatePicker">
<item name="android:divider">@drawable/dialog_divider</item>
change items according to you. and set this theme to your data-picker style
style="@style/date_picker"
Solution 5
For Date Picker add this codes to color.xml
<color name="mdtp_accent_color">#070B82</color>
<color name="mdtp_accent_color_dark">#0D105E</color>
For both you can define style in style.xml
<style name="TimePickerTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/blue</item>
</style>
and set style in xml:
android:theme="@style/MyAppTheme"
or programically:
TimePickerDialog timePicker = new TimePickerDialog(mContext, R.style.TimePickerTheme, fromListener, hour, min, false);
