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>

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'm trying to change the background color of my ActionBar as well as the title color. I must say I am using the support library.
My styles are as follows.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/AppTheme.ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="background">#color/red_300</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/red_300</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/red_300</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/AppTheme.ActionBar.Title</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar.Title" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/red_700</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#00FF00</item>
</style>
And in styles-v21
<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="background">#color/red_300</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/red_300</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/red_300</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#FF0000</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#FF0000</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/AppTheme.ActionBar.Title</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar.Title" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#FFFF00</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#FFFF00</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/red_700</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#00FF00</item>
</style>
As you guys might see by the amount of attemps to change it, I am already losing my mind. Any clues as to how I can change the ActionBar background and it's title color?
I must note that I am trying this on Android 6.
In the ToolBar creation (xml), setting the app:theme fixed it. Specifying a theme there with it's colorPrimary changed the background of the ActionBar without affecting the base theme.
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
and the theme:
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
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:
How to specify dark action mode with my theme
Toolbar and Contextual ActionBar with AppCompat-v7
Unable to style action mode when using Toolbar
Expected behaviour, works fine on lollipop:
How it looks on kitkat:
Solved by specifying booth android namspace and without in my theme:
...
<item name="actionModeStyle">#style/ActionMode</item>
<item name="android:actionModeStyle">#style/ActionMode</item>
...
<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?
I am using Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar theme. I am getting a white background for popup menu and also the color of menu item is white that makes it invisible. I tried many solutions with no success.
This is my styles.xml
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall</item>
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<style name="PopupMenu" parent="#android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
<style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.PopupMenu.Small" tools:ignore="NewApi">
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>
</style>
<style name="myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.PopupMenu.Large" tools:ignore="NewApi">
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">25sp</item>
</style>
This is the toolbar
<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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/toolbar"
android:elevation="8dp"
app:theme="#style/AppTheme"
app:title="Troll Cricket" />
Add these lines to your Toolbar.xml file.
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
This will allow you to have a dark toolbar and light-themed overflow menu.
I am implementing material design on my app, and I want to be able to change the color of the drawer icon to white, but I couldnt achieve what I am looking for..
This is my themes.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base" />
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
<style name="HeaderBar" parent="AppTheme.Base">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/primary</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarPopupThemeOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:background">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#000</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarThemeOverlay" parent="">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#fff</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#fff</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#3fff</item>
</style>
</resources>
And this is my toolbar.xml file
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/jpe.serviguide.commobile"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/ActionBarPopupThemeOverlay"
app:theme="#style/HeaderBar" />
All the colors that I wanted are just fine, but the drawer icon is black instead of white..
I have tried a lot of thing but with no desire result
Thank you so much
Finally made it by doing this on my theme.xml file
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
....
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="spinBars">true</item>
<item name="color">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
You can do it like this:
<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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" - is important part
I think your actionbar should have the following parent (ThemeAppCompat.Light):
<style name="HeaderBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/primary</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
