I am working on a project and set the background of the application to white by doing the following:

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarSize">140dp</item>
    <item name="android:background">#ffffff</item>
</style>

This works a charm however the problem is that the toast messages are now being displayed with a white background. The strange thing is that I integrated a splash screen into the project and when the user logs in the toast message is displayed normally.

It is really strange and would appreciate any help on the issue.

EDIT: ADDED SCREENSHOT SHOWING ISSUE. The screenshot is taken just as the initial toast (with unwanted effect) is fading out and the new one (with default) is fading in.

    I resolved the issue. The reason for the change in the Toast background color was due to the way I was passing in the context of the View object it was contained inside.

    The following line of code would cause the background color to change to the unwanted white color:

    Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "Checking login details...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    This line of code would return the Toast to the default system style:

    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Checking login details...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    I am not sure if there is a huge problem with fixing it like this as I am only learning. If anyone can see a problem please share. It seems to be working just fine though.
