When dynamically changing theme colourPrimaryDark is not taking effect

When dynamically changing theme colourPrimaryDark is not taking effect - android

I have an application which needs to apply different themes on user's choice. So, I have created the themes. These themes are working fine when applied through the Manifest.xml. But when I try to programmatically change the themes, only ActionBar colour is getting changed and the status bar colour remains same like the theme I have applied in Manifest.xml. My codes are in below. I already tried all the available resources but failed to find any solution.
Thanks in advance.

I realise that there are a lot of questions similar to this. I am not able to figure out an answer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Title in ActionBar appears black

I am having trouble finding out why the title in my action bar appears black, this only happens on an emulator with Android 4.1.1, which should be API 15.
Here is my default styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
</style>
and here is the styles from values-v15 and values-v14
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverFlow</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<!-- Styles -->
<style name="OverFlow" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="android:src">#drawable/ic_action_about</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/action_bar_background</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
what would be the problem?

Try this:
<style name="TitleTextColor">
<item name="android:text">#string/app_name</item>
<item name="android:textSize">10sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#a23421</item>
</style>
Edit:(new) Put this in the styles.XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="MyTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyTheme.ActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTheme.ActionBarStyle"parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/red</item>
</style>
</resources>
For White text:
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#f00</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyTextAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextAppearance" parent="android:TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>

Change text color and size of actionbar

I try to change text color and size of my actionbar through the style resources:

<style name="ProgressBar.Example3" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ProgressBar.Horizontal">

<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu.Example3</item>
<item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">#style/DropDownListView.Example3</item>
</style>
</resources>
The above style.xml contains following code part, which should change text color and size, but it happens nothing on my actionbar:
<style name="Theme.Example3.ActionBar.Solid.Example3.TitleTextStyle" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
What is wrong?
Thanks!!

<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/Theme.Example3.ActionBar.Solid.Example3.TitleTextStyle</item>
is missing in <style name="ActionBar.Solid.Example3">

The problem is that you need to link the third block of style from inside the second block of style:
<style name="ActionBar.Solid.Example3" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/ab_solid_example3</item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">#drawable/ab_stacked_solid_example3</item>
<item name="android:backgroundSplit">#drawable/ab_bottom_solid_example3</item>
<item name="android:progressBarStyle">#style/ProgressBar.Example3</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/Theme.Example3.ActionBar.Solid.Example3.TitleTextStyle</item>
</style>

Android ActionBar Text Color

I have xml like this:
<resources>
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
</style>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/TitleColor</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#800000</item>
</style>
<style name="TitleColor" parent="android:TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#000099</item>
</style>
</resources>
Background color is properly set, but title color does not change. Where did I make mistake?
Thanks!

Change it to this:
<resources>
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
</style>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="android:Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#800000</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/TitleColor</item>
</style>
<style name="TitleColor" parent="android:TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#000099</item>
</style>
</resources>

You can also change programmatically like this
ActionBar actionbar = getSupportedActiobar();
actionBar.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ff0000'>ActionBarTitle </font>"));

I'm using this
<resources>
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/myTheme.ActionBar</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/action_text_color</item>
</style>
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"></style>
<style name="myTheme.ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/myTheme.ActionBar.Text</item>
<item name="background">#drawable/abc_tab_indicator_ab_holo</item>
<item name="backgroundStacked">#drawable/abc_ab_transparent_dark_holo</item>
<item name="backgroundSplit">#drawable/abc_ab_bottom_transparent_light_holo</item>
</style>
<style name="myTheme.ActionBar.Text" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/action_text_color</item>
</style>

This is what worked for me ...
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#color/titleBarBgColor</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
<item name="android:subtitleTextStyle">#style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="background">#color/titleBarBgColor</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
<item name="subtitleTextStyle">#style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/titleBarTextColor</item>
</style>
