I use Lg Q6. Version 7.1.1. Navigation bar color not change with code below. I try to change dynamically and using theme but nothing is change. I dont understand Where Im do something wrong ?
First try programatically
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
getWindow().setNavigationBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.your_awesome_color));
}
Then try style.xml
Manifest.xml
<application
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
style.xml
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
Every time you want to change the color of a comment or item in the entire app, it's best to put a special style into it and introduce it to the original style of the program.
For Example : if you want change background of bottom Navigation Bar you can add under lines in style.xml v21 :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
but if you want change background color of toolbar , you should define an style for it , for example :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
.
.
.
<item name="toolbarStyle">#style/MyStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:background">#024dfc</item>
</style>
you can use this way for define night and day theme for your app .
I hope you enjoyed .

I'm trying to change the scrimBackground that show up when you opened a dialog. And I know that in the new MaterialComponents-Theme is an attribute for this case (scrimBackground). But it is currently not working for me.
On the material.io website that background is also descriped as the scrimBackground and it looks like that it is customizable from the Theme. Has anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?
https://material.io/design/components/dialogs.html#theming
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="scrimBackground">#android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
<item name="dialogTheme">#drawable/window_scrim</item>
<item name="android:dialogTheme">#style/DialogTheme</item>
<item name="alertDialogTheme">#style/AlertDialogTheme</item>
<item name="android:alertDialogTheme">#style/AlertDialogTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="DialogTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Dialog">
<item name="scrimBackground">#drawable/window_scrim</item>
</style>
<style name="AlertDialogTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Dialog.Alert">
<item name="scrimBackground">#drawable/window_scrim</item>
</style>
The Material code does not appear to use this attribute even though it is defined. This issue tracks this problem. In the meantime, you may be able to change this without a Material Theme using the advise in Changing default Android fade/scrim color when calling a Dialog.
I'm trying to edit theme like this:
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
But this colours my whole activity. Instead I want only action bar to be coloured with my custom color. How to achieve this?
Edit:
I've managed to achieve desired result by using Theme Editor and creating custom theme with it.
Try this
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
and please read this for more info
Use AppCompat theme. Specify colorPrimaryatribute since the ActionBar background color depends on it.
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
Also you can try it like this ,
Use a parent style and declare your whatever Widget style inside the parent one.Here use android:actionBarStyle
See the example below
<resources>
<style name="MyTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">ANY_HEX_COLOR_CODE</item>
</style>
</resources>
set MyTheme in your activity
Note : ActionBar will not work for your target environment which is at API level 10
Currently I am working on a little android app. I try to change the background color of the ActionBar's dropdown menu. So far I was only able to change the background color of the ActionBar itself, but not of the dropdown menu. It simply does not change the color. Here is some code from my styles.xml:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"></style>
<!-- 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/MyActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionDropDownStyle">#style/MyActionDropDownStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBarStyle" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#color/background_color_action_bar</item>
<item name="background">#color/background_color_action_bar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionDropDownStyle" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.Spinner.DropDown.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#color/background_color_action_bar</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/background_color_action_bar</item>
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/background_color_action_bar</item>
<item name="android:dropDownSelector">#color/background_color_action_bar</item>
</style>
The MyActionBarStyle part works but the MyActionDropDownStyle does not. I suppose that the parent of MyActionDropDownStyle might be wrong. Maybe someone of you has an idea and can help me.
Thanks in advance!
I want to change the color of the title bar. I tried this:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/ColorBar</item>
</style>
<style name="ColorBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/orange</item>
</style>
But it doesn't work. What is wrong in my code shown above?
EDIT : it's the color of the text i want to change, not the background (it's running for the background)
This should work for all devices, you will need the support library (appcompat_v7)
<style name="Theme" parent="#style/BaseTheme"></style>
<style name="BaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/orange </item>
<item name="background">#color/orange </item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/ActionBar.Text</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/ActionBar.Text</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBar.Text" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/orange</item>
</style>
manifest :
android:theme="#style/Theme"
There may be problem with the android version. You should consider old ones and new ones. Try adding these both lines for different versions.
<item name="android:background">#drawable/your_color</item>
<item name="background">#drawable/your_color</item>
Does changing the parent to parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid" make a difference?
If not, let me know what happens if you move the
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/ColorBar</item> into the AppBaseTheme style
Try setting all of these:
<item name="android:background">#color/something</item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">#color/something</item>
<item name="android:backgroundSplit">#color/something</item>
This is an easy way for settings the color of the actionbar-title by Java
getActionBar().setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#ffffff\">" + "TITLE" + "</font>"));
If you're using a support library, then you can use getSupportActionBar();.
I'm new to all of this but I found it easier to go to Res > Value > colors.xml and from there you can change the "primary color." This changed the title bar to the color I selected.
I tried change color of my actionBar divider , but nothing work. I' using android support library v7 for support old devices and custom style, and i also change all action bar drawable, but nothing happend!
<resources>
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent = "Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#drawable/my_action_bar</item>
</style>
</resources>
And my ide show me strange error in layout , why did i get this error? it's not color value
java.lang.NumberFormatException: Color value '#drawable/abs__ab_transparent_dark_holo' must start with #
Solution: Need to add android namespace if use for api level >= 14 .May be it will be helpful to someone.
It is because the "divider" is an image. It's hardcoded in the Holo theme assets.
Look at platforms/android-19/data/res/drawable-xxhdpi/ab_transparent_dark_holo.9.png
The style is declared here for holo dark.
<style name="Widget.Holo.ActionBar" parent="Widget.ActionBar">
...
<item name="android:background">#android:drawable/ab_transparent_dark_holo</item>
...
</style>
It's a background. You will need to change the color in the image and replace the background of your bar.
It also needs different sizes for different resolutions.
Maybe you should set color directly, change your theme as
<item name="android:divider">#color/dividercolor</item>
Then you should add color dividercolor in you /value/color file,like
<item name="dividercolor"> #0099CC </item>
I hope this will be helpful to you
