Simply want to change the color of my actionbar!
So, when I google this, it appears pretty simple...
I've seen people propose this several times:
<style name="AppTheme"
parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#990000</item>
</style>
But I really cant get this to work. It doesn't do any thing different.. Actionbar is still black. But exactly this seems to work for other people, so I dont understand..
When I try to put this:
ActionBar actionBar;
actionBar = getActionBar();
ColorDrawable colorDrawable = new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#990000"));
actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(colorDrawable);
in my onCreate, the app just crashes...
Edit: Okay I'm an idiot for posting way too soon... Just had to put the actionBar code below the:
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
It works now, sorry for posting before I tried that...
The new Lollipop AppCompat library does not use android:
namespace for theming. It is highly probable that you theming will work if you remove android:
and do it like below:
<style name="AppTheme"
parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
The better way of doing is to use Toolbar
instead of deprecated ActionBar
. To do it like that, your theme should parent from NoActionBar theme.
<style name="AppTheme"
parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
</style>
And you have to include Toolbar
into your own layouts like below. That way you can set whatever background you want.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar_actionbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#990000" />
将主题应用于清单上的整个应用程序或单个活动:
<application android:theme="@style/CustomActionBarTheme" ... />
