Why is my EditText style not being applied?

I try like this:
styles.xml:
<style name="EditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">12dp</item>
<item name="android:backgroundTint">#color/editTextUnderline</item>
<item name="android:drawableLeft">#drawable/ic_sample_action</item>
<item name="android:drawablePadding">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">15dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">25dp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorTextPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/editTextHintColor</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">#font/viga</item>
<item name="android:inputType">text</item>
</style>
And then I use it in layout file:
<EditText
style="#style/EditTextStyle"
android:id="#+id/input_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="Title"
android:text="#={viewModel.title}" />
However I do not see any changes. Why could that be?

I chanded style parent to #style/Widget.AppCompat.EditText and it worked.

Is there any possible way to style Relative Layouts using styles.xml in Android Studio?

Instead of setting the layout_toRightof, layout_toLeftof, layout_above and layout_below parameters everytime a view is created, is there a way to include it in the styles.xml file such that it becomes easier to implement instead of typing it every single time? This is the intended layout.
I've included my activityMain.xml and styles.xml files below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Style of edittext in API below 21

EditText in API 22 work perfect. Bup for example in API 19 it's seems bad. Will it has relation with gradle?
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
In api 19
In api 22 all work perfect
xml
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_firstname"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

it's my style file.

<style name="SearchViewMy" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.SearchView">

It is not depended on gradle.Instead of android:layout_height="wrap_content"
use android:layout_height="40dp" a fixed height and check it again

ActionMode comes on top of the current ActionBar when clicked on a item in RecylcerView

I want to create a list with items using Recyclerview and I already have managed to make the items selectable.
I have managed to show a toolbar by making use of an ActionMode implementation. This was almost the excepted result but a new actionbar appears on top of my actionbar of my drawerlayout like this:
How can I show the toolbar with the selected items in front of my main toolbar?
I tried to show/hide the toolbar of my activity, but this causes a flicker because the black actionbar fades out.

add this to your style.xml in AppTheme
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>

I hope this is your Activity theme. Add <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item> to have the overlay behaviour of ActionMode.

How to use parent style in android xml

How to use parent style in android xml. Code is here. its not working.
And i have added layout.xml and style.xml.
Please advise for this.
layout.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="25dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
style="#style/textbold"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Catering: "/>
<TextView
style="#style/textwhiteitalic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Veg, 20-50, Lunch, Wedding, 15 Oct, Breakfast ..."/>
</LinearLayout>
style.xml
<resources>
<style name="textbold">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
</style>
<style name="textwhite">
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
<style name="textwhiteitalic" parent="#style/textwhite">
<item name="android:textStyle">italic</item>
</style>

try this you directly add parent like parent="#style/textwhite"
<style name="textwhiteitalic" parent="#style/textwhite">
<item name="android:textStyle">italic</item>
</style>
For more details go to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html
Update: try this way
<style name="txt_style_row" parent="android:Widget.TextView">
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">italic</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">italic</item>
</style>
and set style to your TextView like
style="#style/txt_style_row"

For this what you need to do is ::
<style name="textwhite">
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
<style name="textwhite.textwhiteitalic" >
<item name="android:textStyle">italic</item>
</style>
--
<TextView
style="#style/textwhite.textwhiteitalic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Veg, 20-50, Lunch, Wedding, 15 Oct, Breakfast ..."/>
