How to change the color of an dialog item from black to white?

I'm using the following theme for my dialog:
<style name="AlertDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/colorWhite</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorWhite</item>
<item name="android:textColorAlertDialogListItem">#color/colorWhite</item>
</style>
Everything works but the item text color. I need to be white, but for some reason, it remains back. How can I change that text to be white? Thanks
Edit:
Here is my AppTheme:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/colorWhite</item>
</style>

You may refer AlertDialog Theme: How to change item text color?
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
...
<item name="textColorAlertDialogListItem">#color/colorWhite</item>
</style>
or
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
...
<item name="alertDialogTheme">#style/AlertDialogStyle </item>
</style>
<style name="AlertDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">
...
<item name="textColorAlertDialogListItem">#color/colorWhite</item>
<!--
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorWhite</item>
-->
</style>
Also you can change android:textColor, but it will change all the text color in Dialog Window

Use your custom DialogBox Style while creating DialogBox.
new AlertDialog.Builder(new ContextThemeWrapper(context, R.style.AlertDialogStyle))
Add these lines into your app theme
<item name="android:alertDialogTheme">#style/AlertDialogStyle</item>
<item name="android:alertDialogStyle">#style/AlertDialogStyle</item>

Action Bar colors are bugged

I've started my project with a "Navigation Drawer Activity" in Android Studio 2.2.3. Then changed the parent of AppTheme to Theme.AppCompat.Light and the primary and secondary color to a white color. However, when I open my main activity I noticed that the hamburger icon and the overflow menu icon are slightly lighter than the pitch black title in the appbar, see left screenshot. However, what's weird is that when I go to a second blank activity the up arrow and any other icon I place in the navigation bar are as black as the title. Does anyone know where this styling is coming from so I can change it? My code is shown below the screenshot.
My main goal is to change the color of the hamburger and overflow menu icon.
styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
</style>
</resources>

I've found a fix. Editing the color of the hamburger icon can be done by adding
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
(...)
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="spinBars">true</item>
<item name="color">#color/materialBlackPrimary</item>
</style>
and editing the color of the overflow menu icon can be done by adding
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
(...)
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButtonStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="OverflowButtonStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="android:tint">#color/materialBlackPrimary</item>
</style>

How to make alert dialog match theme color?

So in the app I am making, I have both a dark and light theme. The light theme works fine, but the alert dialogs I have still show the background the same as the light theme. Since it is dark, the text changes to light and the user can't see anything. Is there a certain attribute I need to change?
Here is the styles.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#E53935</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#C62828</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#E53935</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#1565C0</item>
<item name="android:colorForeground">#color/foreground_material_light</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/background_material_light</item>
<!-- Other attributes -->
</style>
<style name="Dark" parent="#style/AppTheme" >
<item name="android:colorForeground">#color/foreground_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/primary_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#color/accent_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#color/primary_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/background_material_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/primary_text_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimaryInverse">#android:color/primary_text_light</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/secondary_text_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondaryInverse">#android:color/secondary_text_light</item>
<item name="android:textColorTertiary">#android:color/tertiary_text_dark</item>
</style>
Here is what it shows up as:

Solved: You need to create your own xml like this:
<item name="alertDialogTheme">#style/DarkAlertDialog</item>
With this being your custom dialog:
<style name="DarkAlertDialog" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Dialog">
<item name="background">#color/background_material_dark</item>
</style>

Use the parent AppCompat and then use colorPrimary and colorAccent properties (without an Android prefix) to theme things.
Right now the styles are coming from a dialog subtheme and not being affected by these style definitions.

To change my toolbar text color to white, but it's still black!
What do I need to change?

Are you sure that you are using Toolbar? If yes, then your myAppTheme should extend from Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar ... Toolbar is a replacement of ActionBar. Therefore if you want to use it then you must remove ActionBar styles from your xml.
I suggest you read this blog post. And here is a nice implementation on how to change title color.
