I\'m changing the theme of an activity in onCreate using setTheme (I\'m doing that even before calling super.onCreate(), as this is supposed to be more reliable).
Just as a workaround, Instead of using textAppearanceLarge in the layout, (if you're using xml to build the layout), define your own textAppearanceLarge style in the styles.xml that emulates the android default one except you can change the color to white.
