Can't apply Theme from Android Action Bar Style Generator

Can't apply Theme from Android Action Bar Style Generator - android

I finished Android Action Bar Style Generator and downloaded the zip from there.
I copied and pasted all the folder in res, then changed the theme to let my app use the theme I edited. but The result is nothing changed!!!!
I am still beginner here. I am still not sure if there are other thing to deal with about changing Theme.

android:theme parameter inside manifest ignored

I have AppTheme style in my styles.xml file. In manifest file i choose it like application theme.
I want to login activity unique style and I created login style, and set it in manifest. But it is not working, LoginActivity still takes AppTheme.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:name=".application.TrainerApp"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
android:supportsRtl="true">
<activity
android:name=".activities.login.LoginActivity"
android:theme="#style/LoginTheme"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
In style.xml
<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>
</style>
<style name="LoginTheme" parent="#style/AppTheme">
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds" tools:targetApi="lollipop">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="lollipop">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

Try like this :-
<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>
</style>
<style name="LoginTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#ff0</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#0ff</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#f0f</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds" tools:targetApi="lollipop">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="lollipop">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
Instead of :-
<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>
</style>
<style name="LoginTheme" parent="#style/AppTheme">
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds" tools:targetApi="lollipop">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="lollipop">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

Remove android:theme="#style/AppTheme" from your application tag and apply theme for each activity separately. For more detail, please see my link: http://androidkeeda.com/android-working-on-material-theme

Make toolbar and menu button have smaller height

I have a toolbar (please see xml below). Is there any easy way to make the tool bar thinner and keep the menu button.
Or maybe just have a menu button in some corner?
This started out as a full screen activity, but i roll up my own view and do a: setContentView(view);
thanks
<activity
android:name=".FullscreenActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/FullscreenTheme">
<intent-filter>

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->

</style>
<style name="FullscreenActionBarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/black_overlay</item>

Specifying this styles:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
...
<item name="actionBarSize">20dp</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="actionButtonStyle">#style/MyActionButtonStyle</item>
<item name="displayOptions">homeAsUp</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionButtonStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionButton">
<item name="android:minWidth">20dp</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">20dp</item>
</style>
Will result in this output:

EditText not using theme

My EditText isn't using the theme I've assigned to it.
Here is my activity's property in AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="Index"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/IndexTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize" >
</activity>
Here is my styles.xml:
<style name="IndexTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
<item name="android:textCursorDrawable">#drawable/cursor_dark</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/text_c</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/primary</item>
</style>
<style name="IndexEditText" parent="#android:style/Widget.EditText">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">16dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">16dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">16dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">16dp</item>
</style>
And here is my styles.xml (v21):
<style name="IndexTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
<item name="alertDialogTheme">#style/AlertDialogTheme</item>
</style>
Yesterday it was working fine. Today I updated my support libraries from v22 to v23.1.1 and it not longer works.
Why?

use both these 2 lines instead
<item name="editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
<item name="android:editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
It's works for me.

Hi,I need to customize my actionBar title Text Color and subTitle Text Color. I used the above style but there is no change.

Try The Following...
style.xml
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/login_background</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#color/theme_blue</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/ActionBarTitleText</item>
<item name="subtitleTextStyle">#style/ActionBarSubTitleText</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarTitleText" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/stdDarkBlueText</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarSubTitleText" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Subtitle">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/stdDarkBlueText</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
</resources>

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_icon128"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" // apply theme here
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >

i have done with simple one line code
actionBar.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ff0000'>ActionBartitle </font>"));
