在Android中更改ActionBar的颜色

Question

Here is my xml code in styles.xml to change theme and colour of ActionBar.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>

<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar"
    parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
    <item name="android:icon">@drawable/brand_logo</item>
    <item name="android:background">#ff5d44</item>
</style>

Here is the documentation . My app supports API level 11 and higher. Not sure where I am going wrong. Please help.

Answer 1

set "AppTheme" as theme for application / activity.

 <!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@android:color/white</item>

</style>

Answer 2

I was using support library. So here is the fix.

<style name="MyActionBar"
        parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
        <item name="android:background">#ff5d44</item>
        <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>

         <!--Support library compatibility-->
        <item name="background">@color/orange</item>
        <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
    </style>
