Wrong colors from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9

After upgrading to 1.0.9, I'm experiencing some different behavior with the colors. Running on Lollipop

1.0.8

1.0.9

Could you post you xml layout? If you are changing or defining anything dynamically, could you post it as well? Does the sample display for you the correct textPrimaryColor by default?

That's my layout element

<com.astuetz.PagerSlidingTabStrip
    android:id="@+id/tabs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    app:pstsIndicatorColor="@android:color/white" />

and my theme

    <style name="ParaPesquisa.Theme.Gray" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Different shades of gray -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/action_bar</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/color_5</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/color_3</item>
    </style>

My guess is Theme.AppCompat.Light has dark primary text color, given than you didn't set pstsTextColorSelected attribute, this library will use that primary color. android:textColor just sets inactive tabs' color. So quick fix is you should set pstsTextColorSelected.

Ok, that make sense.

Basically, this is what is happening:

• item name="android:textColorPrimary of your theme is apply to every tab by default. Which make sense if you take a look to the default color distribution. Also 150 alpha value will be apply to non selected tabs. You can change the alpha value via app:pstsTextAlphaSet with a range from 0 to 255.
• android:textColor of your layout layout will replace textColorPrimary for all non selected tabs if it is defined.
• app:pstsTextColorSelected will replace textColorPrimary for the selected tab.

What is happening to you is...

• item name="android:textColorPrimary by default is black.
• You defined opaque white for textColor

If I were you I would define item name="android:textColorPrimary in my theme to white and remove android:textColor="@android:color/white" app:pstsIndicatorColor="@android:color/white" in your layout.
