Answer 1

after some analysis found following answer

    <item name="selectableItemBackground">@null</item>
    <item name="android:selectableItemBackground">@null</item>
    <item name="actionBarItemBackground">@null</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">@null</item>

The issue is you need to override these attributes in your application. donot try changing in actionbar apk libary. that was the point i missed while fixing this.
