Change default dialog buttons text color without changing colorAccent attribute

Question

In android, the default dialog buttons(Negative, neutral and positive) text color is same as colorAccent(in colors.xml) attribute but I want to set some different color without changing colorAccent attribute. I looked everywhere but I couldn't find any way to do this.

Specify the alertDialogTheme in the main AppTheme, and then define a different colorAccent in that theme, which is specific to AlertDialogs:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="alertDialogTheme">@style/AlertDialog</item>
</style>

<style name="AlertDialog" parent="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dialog.Alert">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/yourColor</item>
</style>

I checked it before post, check again. Do you use AlertDialog v7? – Gurgen Hakobyan Oct 15 '17 at 22:29
No, I am using `android.app.AlertDialog`. What should I use? – Rahul Roshan Oct 15 '17 at 22:36
android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog – Gurgen Hakobyan Oct 15 '17 at 22:37
I changed to v7.AlertDialog and it worked, thanks @gurgen – Rahul Roshan Oct 15 '17 at 22:41
