I'm trying to change my Toolbar's menu item text color here, but it doesn't work. Here's my style:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="toolbarStyle">#style/AppTheme.ToolbarStyle</item>
<item name="buttonStyle">#style/AppTheme.ButtonStyle</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ToolbarStyle" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="titleTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="titleTextAppearance">#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title
</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
layout xml:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:title="#string/app_name"
app:titleMarginStart="#dimen/margin_l"
/>
I have tried to set the Toolbar theme directly in xml, but the menu item is still back. Is there a solution to this?
Add these lines in your AppTheme style
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
Having a material toolbar you can play with styling modifying text title and menu texts as follows:
<com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:elevation="6dp"
android:theme="#style/App.ToolbarStyle"
app:titleTextAppearance="#style/App.ToolbarTitleTex"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/create_item_menu"
app:titleTextColor="#android:color/black" />
Where this style lets you change the color of the icon of the left:
<style name="App.ToolbarStyle" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Toolbar.Primary">
<item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
Also you can change the title text appearance with another style:
<style name="App.ToolbarTitleTex" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Toolbar.Primary">
<item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
<item name="fontFamily">#font/roboto_bold</item>
</style>
And finally to change the menu item style you need to add this item property to the main style/theme of the app (the one you set in the AndroidManifest file:
<item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">#style/App.ToolbarMenuItem</item>
With:
<style name="App.ToolbarMenuItem" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Toolbar.Primary">
<item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
<item name="fontFamily">#font/roboto_bold</item>
<item name="textAllCaps">true</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
The final result would be something like this:
You need to declare a Theme like this
<style name="Theme.PopupOverlay.Menu" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" >
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
And then, in your Toolbar in layout view you must specify to use that theme
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/Theme.PopupOverlay.Menu" />
Modern way under Material3 theming.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.Material3.Dark">
<item name="toolbarStyle">#style/ToolBarStyle</item>
...
</style>
<style name="ToolBarStyle" parent="#style/Widget.Material3.Toolbar">
<item name="titleTextColor">#android:color/holo_green_light</item>
<item name="navigationIconTint">#android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
<item name="materialThemeOverlay">#style/ToolbarThemeOverlay</item>
</style>
<style name="ToolbarThemeOverlay" parent="">
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/holo_red_light</item>
</style>
materialThemeOverlay - is the key to apply the colors to action menu items
In your theme file you have to put this :
<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
...
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/text_color</item>
...
</style>
and apply above theme to Toolbar view as like this android:theme="#style/AppTheme.ActionBar"
detailed example:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/main_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:layout_gravity="top"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.ActionBar"/>

I have different themes in styles.xml and I have used different background color in each theme.
<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:background">#color/transparent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppThemeDark" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:background">#181818</item>
</style>
<style name="AppThemeLight" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimaryLight</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDarkLight</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccentLight</item>
<item name="android:background" >#color/backgroundLight</item>
</style>
xml snippet,
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<include layout="#layout/content_main" />
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:elevation="0dp"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
When I change the theme, the title background also changed to that color.
I tried using the following in each theme,But it doesn't work.
<item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">#style/titletheme</item>
And titletheme ,
<style name="titletheme">
<item name="android:background">#00000000</item>
</style>
See the image, the title background is changed with android:background color in that theme.
How to prevent change of the title background color?
Just change one thing and tell me its working or not: remove "android:background" from your theme and add "android:windowBackground". see if this helps. rest leave the same.
When adding some alpha to my Toolbar background color, I notice there is a background applied to the title's TextView:
Here is my layout:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:background="#0099cc">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/FullscreenActionBarStyle"
app:titleTextAppearance="#style/ActionBarTitle"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/fullscreen_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/image"/>
</FrameLayout>
And my styles.xml:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
<style name="FullscreenTheme" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#null</item>
<item name="metaButtonBarStyle">?android:attr/buttonBarStyle</item>
<item name="metaButtonBarButtonStyle">?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/FullscreenActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<!--For compatibility-->
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/FullscreenActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>
<style name="FullscreenActionBarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#color/black_overlay</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/black_overlay</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarTitle" parent="TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Title">
<item name="android:textSize">50sp</item>
</style>
</resources>
"black_overlay" color value is #66000000
I am using AppCompat and Support libraries v24.2.1.
Do you have any idea on how to get rid of this text background?
Cheers.
As you can see in the following issue, the problem comes from the attribute app:theme. It is applied to every view that a viewgroup inflate.
Replace app:theme by style:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
style="#style/FullscreenActionBarStyle"
app:titleTextAppearance="#style/ActionBarTitle"/>
Alright, removing the background properties on the FullscreenActionBarStyle style and putting it in the Toolbar layout definition make it work.
As #apelsoczi pointed out, settings these properties in the toolbar style also apply them on children components.
Encapsulate a TextView inside the Toolbar and set the value of that.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
...>
<TextView ... />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
I'm having the following setup:
toolbar.xml
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.citylifta"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:theme="#style/ActionBarTheme" />
themes.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="actionBarTheme">#style/ActionBarTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/dark_button</item>
</style>
now, if I omit the attr app:theme="#style/ActionBarTheme", the toolbar gets totally black...
How to define the toolbar's styling as a part of the AppTheme properly?
I am building my first (material designed) app in Android Studio. I am following Slidnerd's Material design playlist, I'm up to #5. I wanted to know how I can have the menu popup to have dark text while have white primary and secondary text. Thanks!
If i undestood your question, you need this:
Set color of Toolbar in xml:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/purple_800" <!--color-->
app:theme="#style/ActionBarThemeOverlay"
app:popupTheme="#style/ActionBarPopupThemeOverlay"
android:elevation="2dp"/>
And another in style:
<style name="NoActionBarTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#fff</item>
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">#null</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarThemeOverlay" parent="">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#fff</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/gray_800</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/gray_800</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarPopupThemeOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" >
<item name="android:background">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
</style>
and in values-v21 include this too
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/purple_900</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#color/purple_900</item>
Toolbar ActionMode seems to ignore my style on devices pre Lollipop.
Here is my style:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<!--We will be using the toolbar so no need to show ActionBar-->
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#DD000000</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#8A000000</item>
<!-- Set theme colors from http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette-->
<!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
<!-- Set AppCompat’s color theming attrs -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/secondary</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:actionModeStyle">#style/Widget.ActionMode</item>
<item name="android:actionModeBackground">#drawable/toolbar_action_background</item>
<item name="android:actionModeCloseDrawable">#drawable/ic_arrow_back_white_24dp</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.ActionMode" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionMode">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/toolbar_action_background</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/TitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="TitleTextStyle" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
</style>
And my toolbar xml
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
I've checked these questions:

Solved by specifying booth android namspace and without in my theme:

<style name="ActionMode" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionMode">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/toolbar_action_background</item>
<item name="background">#drawable/toolbar_action_background</item>
</style>
Look at your Toolbar's theme:
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
The first style, you didn't give a name. You missed some lines. Then, let's suppose the style which has no name, its name is ToolbarStyle which has a line of <item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item> which does matter. Then at your Toolbar layout, replace your app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" by app:theme="#style/ToolbarStyle". Then <item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item> will color your Toolbar's background. Are we clear now?
