Why is textColor in android:textAppearance ignored?
<p>I use android support library, which version I don not know because I do not know of a way how to check it. The problem I am facing that apparently the value for android:textColor attribute is ignored. If I define a style and assign it to textAppearance of EditText the color textColor is ignored.</p>

<p>So, I have a following layout:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" &gt;

    &lt;!-- This text should be red, but it is black --&gt;
    &lt;EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Text color via TextAppearance"
        android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.EditText" /&gt;

    &lt;!-- The hint should be green, but it is grey --&gt;
    &lt;EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Hint color via TextAppearance"
        android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.EditText" /&gt;

     &lt;!-- Text is red as set in android:textColor --&gt;
     &lt;EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Text color via android:textColor"
        android:textColor="#880000"
        android:textSize="18sp" /&gt;

    &lt;!-- Hint is green as set in android:textColorHint --&gt;
    &lt;EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Hint color via android:textColorHint"
        android:textColorHint="#008800"
        android:textSize="18sp" /&gt;

&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I have defined the following style:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!-- Text Appearance --&gt;
&lt;style name="TextAppearance.EditText" parent=""&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#880000&lt;/item&gt;      &lt;!-- this color is ignored --&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:textColorHint"&gt;#008800&lt;/item&gt;  &lt;!-- this color is ignored --&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:textSize"&gt;18sp&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Is this a bug in support library or did I miss something?</p>
