TextView color not affected by xml attribute android:textColor

That is a weird issue, still can't find out why? Setting up custom toolbar like below,

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
 ....>
    <include android:id="@+id/custom_toolbar" layout="@layout/custom_toolbar"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

and textview in custom toolbar

<TextView
 .....
 android:text="@string/search_by_title_or_artist"
 android:textColor="@color/text_shadow_white"
 .... />

and style in theme

<style name="AppTheme" parent="BaseTheme">
    .....
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/material_gray_900</item>
    .....
</style>

final is BaseTheme

<style name="BaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar" tools:targetApi="23">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentTransitions">true</item>
</style>

the issue is text color in custom toolbar is not overrided by android:textColorattribute no matter set any color. it is only be affected by android:textColorPrimary in theme style. but other texts not in custom toolbar like in list will be overrided by android:textColor.

Please tell me what wrong with that and how to fix.

Try this

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">


    <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:text="Search..."
              android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>


     </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

First customize your style.xml like this :-

<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

then apply into your custom toolbar:-

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" >

  <TextView
        .....
        android:text="@string/search_by_title_or_artist"
        android:textColor="@color/text_shadow_white"
        .... 
    />


</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
