How to change the text input color of "prompt" method in Cordova?

Using navigator.dialogs.prompt method, the typing dialog appears on the screen, but the text is white (same color as background) so the user cannot see what is typing.

I'm using pure Cordova. What to do?

You also need to add :

promptInput.setTextColor(0xff888888);

after

promptInput.setHint(defaultText);

As mentioned by @Rodolfo in the comments, the solution:

  1. Open ./platforms/android/src/org/apache/cordova/dialogs/Notification.java
  2. Replace THEME_DEVICE_DEFAULT_LIGHT with THEME_DEVICE_DEFAULT_DARK
  3. Execute cordova platform remove android && cordova platform add android to pick up the changes
  4. Execute cordova build android to rebuild

It's a well known bug. You can try to modify platforms/android/src/org/apache/cordova/dialogs/Notification.java :
search for "public synchronized void prompt"
after " promptInput.setHint(defaultText);" add " promptInput.setHintTextColor(0xff888888);"

Or you can use another version of this plugin, with different theme like: https://github.com/ecorona/cordova-plugin-dialogs-dark

Also you can write your own dialog plugin using Native UI options. There is a fine introduction for begginers at: https://blogs.oracle.com/mobile/entry/introduction_to_custom_cordova_plugin
