<style name="YOURSTYLE" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu">
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:itemBackground">@android:color/holo_red_light</item>
</style>

Context wrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.YOURSTYLE);
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(wrapper, view);

Answer 5

None of the above solutions worked for me, so this is how I fixed it:

First of all make a new Theme for the Activity, and:

<style name="Theme.YourTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:itemBackground">@color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
</style>

1. To make the background of items white

   <item name="android:itemBackground">@color/white</item>
   

2. To counter make the text color black

   <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
   

Lastly, apply the theme to your Activity via Manifest:

    <activity android:name=".YourActivity"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.YourTheme"/>

Answer 6

Use popupTheme from AppCompat toolbar

 <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:popupTheme="@style/MyTheme"/>

In Style :

  <style name="MyTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
</style>

Hope it will work.
