Android ShareActionProvider Change Text Color

I think I spent 2 days in order to find a way of changing the text color of the ShareActionProvider. There are some posts on the internet but none worked for me. So I started to try myself each and every item attribute from @style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar. After a while I found the items I was looking for:

<item name="textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">
<item name="textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">

NOTE: Notice that I used 

textAppearanceLargePopupMenu

and NOT

android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu

This was one of the mistakes I was doing when I tried different items. It seems that if I use “android:” it will not work.

So you need to create a style for these 2 in which you have to set the text color.

ShareActionProvider Custom Style (MyShareActionProviderStyle)

<style name="MyShareActionProviderStyle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Subtitle">
        <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/holo_red_dark</item>
</style>

Now you should apply the style to those 2 items in your application custom theme.

Application Custom Theme (MyCustomAppTheme)

 <style name="MyCustomAppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/MyShareActionProviderStyle</item>
        <item name="textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">@style/MyShareActionProviderStyle</item>
</style>

MyCustomAppTheme will be set in the AndroidManifest.xml as the application theme.

<application
        android:name=".utils.ApplicationProvider"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/MyCustomAppTheme">
