im using Material IO and i want to Change the Text-Color of my Menu.
<resources>
...
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
...
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/colorText</item>
</style>
...
<resources>
Does exactly that. But it changes every Text Color. But i just want to Change the Color of my Menu-Text.
So i tried to change only that:
<style name="ActionBarTheme" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorMenuText</item> //android.view
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/colorMenuText</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">#color/colorWhite</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="popupTheme">#style/ActionBarPopupTheme</item>
<!-- backward compatibility -->
<item name="background">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
by writing some Thing like This.
I can change the Menu-Background this way, but i cant change the Menu-Text-Color this way. I tried everything i found on Stackoverflow but i couldnt fix this issue.

I tried this minimum sample of your code and it gives me the desired behavior
I think there is a conflict with your styles

You can try solution this
getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);
UPDATE
<style name="MyActionBarLogo" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#color/white</item>
<item name="displayOptions">useLogo|showHome</item>
<item name="elevation">0dp</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:actionDropDownStyle">#style/DropDownMenuStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="DropDownMenuStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Spinner.DropDown.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
You need to apply the zero elevation style to the correct element, in this case actionOverflowMenuStyle.
(This is using appcompat)
<style name="Theme.myapp" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">#style/Theme.myapp.Widget.PopupMenu.Overflow</item>
</style>
Then
<style name="Theme.myapp.Widget.PopupMenu.Overflow" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<item name="elevation">0dp</item>
<item name="android:popupElevation">0dp</item>
</style>

What has changed from Android 4 to Android 5 ? What should I add on my theme/style so that I can achieve the same text color on both versions ?
I'm using ActionBarSherlock and HoloEverywhere in my app. I used the ActionBar Style Generator to generate my styles and then modified them a bit by hand for text colors, etc.
I'm having a problem where my ActionBar looks correct on my Android 4.2 device (that is, orange with white text), but on my Android 2.3 device the ActionBar is black with grey text.
Does anyone know what might cause this?

So I'm now having a problem where the action bar is taking up the entire screen on the Android 2.3 device (but works fine on Android 4.2). Do I need to remove the "android:" from the parent attributes?
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow"
When I tried this, Eclipse was unable to find the theme.

As per the official docs, you need to also declare the attributes without the android: namespace. In your case, those attributes are only getting applied to the native implementation.
