ActionBar color not changing

ActionBar color not changing - android

I'm trying to change the color of the ActionBar in my app. The color was changed in the preview tap when opening the layout file, but not when I run it on my device (5.0.1). I need the status bar to be also colored.
Here is my styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<style name="MyTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
Edit
After adding AppTheme in the solution's style.xml, the action bar is missing.

In your Activity (which has to extend an AppCompatActivity) or in your Application you should use a AppCompat Theme.
If you are not using a Toolbar in your layout use somenthing like:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
</style>
Otherwise, if you are using a Toolbar use:
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar" >
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

I added the following to style.xml and applied it for my activity
<style name="Accelerator" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/primary_darker</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#color/primary</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/accent</item>
</style>

Android Button background is not recognizing/using the drawable

I want to add a background to a button, as I have already done several times. I have a drawable resource file with the appropriate background. However, if I link this, it will not be accepted, instead only one color will be used as the background.
I had the suspicion that it could be a mistake in my Styles.xml but nothing is called too colored in these. What can be the reasons why Android Studio does not recognize a background or where could I have defined a general theme of how buttons should look? I can't remember having put on something like that. I tried something similar with an EditText, I had no problems here, so I think it is a specific button problem.
Also if I change the background color to a plain whit it is not changing anything and still showing a dark blue.
Update: If I change the preview style (upper middel of the preview) to DialogStyle the button background works. How can that be if there is nothing defined in der styles?
Update: I added a new version of my button this time initializing the background in a extra style. Result is that it is still not showing the right color. I also tried it with black but nothing happend.
Thanks for any help.

How to customize title text of android activity

I'm trying to edit the Title text size because it changes when in landscape screen. I found changing the dimension in SP can solve the problem. So I did this...
added a style in style.xml
<style name="Toolbar.TitleText"
parent="TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Title">
<item name="android:textSize">30sp</item>
</style>
and then in app_bar_main.xml under android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar i added this line
app:titleTextAppearance="#style/Toolbar.TitleText"
Now it gives the desired result on Main activity but all others activities are same. I have around 10 activities in my app. How can I change all the activities' Title? Please help. Thanks in advance.

You can use <include> tag to achieve it.
Just like this
<LinearLayout 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"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.dzq.aprivate.view.activity.MainActivity">
<include layout="#layout/lay_actionbar"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/lay_container"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"/>
<include layout="#layout/lay_main_bottom"/>
</LinearLayout>
Use <include layout="#layout/toolbar_header"/> in every Activity you want.

Ok, I have resolved the issue. The previous code was not working for other layouts because activity_main.xml was using toolbar instead of action bar, so i had to write another piece of style for the action bar.
I added these style..
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyTitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTitleTextStyle" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textSize">24sp</item>
</style>
and then added the item in AppTheme like this..
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
and it's working fine now. Thanks everyone for replying.

How to use Android's AppCompat theming application-wide?

IDE: Android Studio 1.1.0
ENV: Debugging on usb-connected phone using Android API v10.
I'm trying to use AppCompat to support Android API v8 and up. Compiles fine but crashes when the activity is drawn, saying:
lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.
...however, in AndroidManifest.xml I have:
<application
android:name=".objects.PikCMS"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat"
>
Thank you & please forgive my frustration. I've been reading A LOT of related but unhelpful info. }8,(
Other Info
I do not want to force a specific theme.
I would like to avoid using different files for different API versions. However, I don't mind adding different versions of same property next to each other.
I had errors in styles.xml for items introduced in v11 (like "buttonBarStyle" & "showDividers"). After reading about the issue, I had thought AppCompat would "fill in the blanks" for pre11 APIs but (in my configuration) it isn't. These are currently all commented out -- until I find out how to use them with AppCompat. Similarly, I had problems with the layout files -- these problematic properties were deleted.
Activity class: Login.java extends :ActionBarActivity:. I'm also importing "android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity" but I'm not sure if I need all of it as I do not implicitly use the action bar (but I might in the future).

You need to replace your theme in the application tag of your manifest:
<application android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat">
ThemeOverlay should only be used with an actionBar with the new actionBarTheme attribute or with a toolbar. More informations here: https://chris.banes.me/2014/11/12/theme-vs-style/

Please change the following lines of code in
progress.xml file
android:layout_width="130dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
to
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
It should display in the center of the screen now.
Hope this helps!
Edit: Please change the layout_width attribute of TextView to "wrap_content".

I don't know if it helps or not. But to fix the cropping issue of "Please wait" text. Change the layout_width to "wrap_content" like this
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Please wait.."
android:textColor="#color/black" />
