[android-developers] Re: Android default color madness, primary_text_light is color black?

Confusing but probably deliberate, the most important color when
thinking about text is of course the background color it will be
displayed on top of

 Good morning,

 I got a little textview defined in layout xml:
 ===
 TextView android:id=@+id/tvCategory
 android:layout_width=wrap_content
                 android:background=@android:color/background_light
 android:layout_height=wrap_content
                 android:padding=2dp android:layout_weight=1.0
 android:gravity=left android:textColor=@android:color/
 primary_text_light /
 ===

 As you can see the background color is background_light (this
 results in white color) and the text color is
 primary_text_light (this results in black color).

 I would have thought that primary_text_light would result in a light
 color like white, not black ;-)

 When i change primary_text_light into primary_text_dark the text
 color becomes color white.

 Is this a bug in the naming of the default colors?

 Kind regards,
 Twan

I think 'light' refers to a theme in this case, and if you're using the
light theme, you get a light background with dark text on it.
