Floating Label Color doesn't change

[tfKamran]

While using with Theme.AppCompat, it does not adapt with the theme.

Even with app:met_floatingLabelTextColor="#FFFFFFFF", it still remains dark and unreadable.

yep, same here using this config:

            app:met_hideUnderline="true"
            app:met_floatingLabel="normal"
            app:met_floatingLabelAlwaysShown="true"
            app:met_accentTypeface="fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf"
            app:met_floatingLabelTextColor="@android:color/black"
            app:met_primaryColor="@android:color/black" 

The floating text still grey

Same Problem here :\

I have the same problem,
when the background is Dark, the FloatingLabel whatever I do is dark.

I think the problem comes from giving the FloatingLabel an alpha value,
Works perfect on light background, but don't in dark one.

By modifying this line,

int alpha = ((int) ((floatingLabelAlwaysShown ? 1 : floatingLabelFraction) * 0xff * (0.74f * focusFraction + 0.26f) * (floatingLabelTextColor != -1 ? 1 : Color.alpha(floatingLabelTextColor) / 256f)));

you can start to get better alpha, But I still have some problems to get it to work as I need.

for me to get it to work nice with Dark Background, I used

setFloatingLabel(FLOATING_LABEL_NORMAL);

and changed the code as follow :

// calculate the alpha
int alpha = ((int) ((floatingLabelAlwaysShown ? 1 : floatingLabelFraction) * 0xff * (0.74f * focusFraction + 0.26f) * (floatingLabelTextColor != -1 ? 1 : Color.alpha(floatingLabelTextColor) / 256f)));
if(!highlightFloatingLabel)
    alpha = ((int) ((floatingLabelAlwaysShown ? 1 : floatingLabelFraction) * 0xff * (0.74f * focusFraction + 1f) * (floatingLabelTextColor != -1 ? 1 : Color.alpha(floatingLabelTextColor) / 256f)));
textPaint.setAlpha(alpha);

I know this is a dirty workaround, But that what I reached so far

I also found that I have to give BaseColor,

[MohHeader]

Also I found something strange,

setBaseColor(Color.WHITE);
        setHintTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        setTextColor(Color.WHITE);

gives Different results from

        setHintTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
setBaseColor(Color.WHITE);

You can use with .setFocusFraction(1f); It work for me.
