DarkActionBar on pre lollipop doesn't have white icons - android

I think i've tried everything on the Internet but nothing seems to work. The icons always stay gray but I want them white. Isn't that purpose of DarkActionBar?
<style name="AppTheme"
parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/one</item>
What it looks like on 4.4 and on 5.0. I want the 5.0 look.


Here is what I have in my project, it works just fine:
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
<item name="android:fastScrollThumbDrawable">#drawable/scroller_style</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/statbar_bg</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/statbar_bg</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/statbar_bg</item>
<!-- <item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item> -->
</style>
<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="spinBars">true</item>
<item name="color">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
<!-- Overflow menu -->
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#color/actionbar_bg</item>
<item name="background">#color/actionbar_bg</item>
<item name="elevation">0dp</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionButtonStyle" parent="#android:style/Widget.ActionButton">
<item name="android:minWidth">0dip</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">0dip</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">0dip</item>
</style>
I would also suggest you to check for different style/theme files in different values folders, maybe something is overriding.

Android action bar overflow menu remove shadow

I'd like to remove shadow around my action bar overflow menu, but i haven't found any attributes allowing that. I'm extending Theme.AppCompat.
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">

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>

Transparent Overlay ActionBar with AppCompat?

I would like to have an ActionBar with the following properties:
Overlay bar, so that the layout's parent view will stretch to full the whole window.
A white title color for the ActionBar.
Transparent background.
I'm targeting API 14+, with AppCompat-v7:22.2.1. So I prepare my styles like this:
<style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/Theme.MyTheme.MyActionBar</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/Theme.MyTheme.MyActionBar</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#5af142</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#06dd09</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#20f304</item>
</style>
<style name="Theme.MyTheme.MyActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="background">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
And, in the Manifest, I set Theme.MyTheme as my activity's theme.
1 & 2 are working, 3 is not. It seams that I get a grey-ish background, and I don't know what should I change/add.

Try out below code, which is my styles.xml
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!--<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>-->

Please help me. Thank you guys.

The Action Bar Style Generator is very useful, but it generates a lot of files, most of which are irrelevant if you only want to change the background colour please look at this:

Although i strongly urge you to use the new toolbar or its support library equivalent.

Android. ActionBar. How to change ActionBar title color?

I am trying to change ActionBar title color. I tried different ways to do it. But I could not solve this problem. I have created my own actionbar theme in values/styles.xml and values-14/styles.xml

The actionBarItemBackground theme attribute will allow you to change the action item selector.
If you're using it with ActionBarSherlock or ActionBarCompat, be sure to provide an entry with and without the android: prefix.
In your style you can use below lines:
<item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">#drawable/my_drawable</item>
<item name="actionBarItemBackground">#drawable/my_drawable</item>
Hope it will help you..
