未显示具有自定义背景的操作栏

Question

I am trying to change the background of the action bar via xml, but the action bar is not shown anymore at all.

This is the style that I am using, declared in styles.xml :

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/DiaryActionBar</item>
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/DiaryActionBar</item>
</style>


<style name="DiaryActionBar"
        parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="background">@color/action_bar_bg</item>
        <item name="android:background">@color/action_bar_bg</item>
</style>

I have set both android:background and background for compatibility. This is the only styles.xml file in my app. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

In my style with custom actionbar background, i have this:

<style name="Theme.Malaka" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
<style name="Malaka.ActionBar" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">

And that works just fine. Items of the styles are the same as yours. Please note that the parent of Malaka.ActionBar is not Theme... but Widget...

For changing background and actionBarStyle from android styling.You can do like this..

    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar</item>
    </style>

    <style name="DiaryActionBar" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black">
        <item name="android:background">@color/action_bar_bg</item>
    </style>
