I'm trying to make the status bar color #a1a1a1 (white_dark) but it's just black when i run it.
This is my Style v21 file:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/white_dark</item>
</style>
you can try this lib
But my personal suggestion is, switch to AppCompatbecause its very easy to change StatusBar color in it.
Primary Dark color is used for StatusBar:
<!-- darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/black</item>
use this theme
<resources>
<!-- the theme applied to the application or activity -->
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme"
parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#color/atctionbar_color</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="background">#color/atctionbar_color</item>
</style>
</resources>
and create new file in values>colors.xml and add color from there
<resources>
<color name="atctionbar_color">#170053</color>
</resources>
I'm trying to make the action bar color in blue but always is black, I'm using to files for styles : styles.xml and styles-21.xml.
This the code in styles-21.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<!-- Main theme colors -->
<!-- your app branding color for the app bar -->
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/blue_color_500</item>
<!-- darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#color/blue_color_900</item>
<!-- theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
<item name="android:colorAccent">#color/purple_color_200</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="#android:background">#color/blue_color_500</item>
<item name="background">#color/blue_color_500</item>
</style>
and this is the style for styles.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<!-- Main theme colors -->
<!-- your app branding color for the app bar -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/blue_color_500</item>
<!-- darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/blue_color_900</item>
<!-- theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/purple_color_200</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/blue_color_50</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/blue_color_500</item>
<item name="background">#color/blue_color_500</item>
</style>
My class inheritance from AppCompatActivity...
Any help with that?
Thank you in advance.
Check this link from official android docs. You should use not only android:actionBarStyle but actionBarStyle too while using compatibility lib.
Here is a way to change the color of your Action Bar :
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/mainColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/mainColorDark</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarWidgetTheme">#style/ActionBarWidget</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.MyApp.ActionBar" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="theme">#style/ThemeOverlay.MyApp.ActionBar</item>
<item name="popupTheme">#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light</item>
</style>
<style name="ThemeOverlay.MyApp.ActionBar" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/white</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#color/mainColor</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarWidget" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"/>
<color name="mainColor">#E41F26</color>
The Action Bar will be colored with mainColor defined at the end ! I Hope it will help
Thank you very much, you were right this is the code fix it:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->

<!-- your app branding color for the app bar -->

</resources>
The Above code doesn't work as android:src is not found, however i wish to achieve the intended effect of this.
I have a company logo that i want to use as the action bar main image, but don't want to use static image for full background colouring. The logo image, #drawable/home has a transparent background.
How would i style the action bar to include an image as well as a background colour?
I don`t know that we have src, here is the code what worked for me:
to set the image this is what I use:
<item name="android:background">#drawable/headerflowerimage</item>
Please find the whole code here:

I had previously set the colour of my window background to white and now I am trying to change the colour of just the action bar to green. This is my xml code:
<style name = "CustomAppTheme2" parent = "android:Widget.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/green</item>
<item name="android:icon">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
The problem is that using android:background to change the colour of the action bar, it overflows and changes the colour of the whole screen to green. I want a clear-cut green action bar and a white window below it. Thanks in advance!

You could extend ActionBarActivity from one of your classes and do something like this:
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
actionBar.setTitle(mTitle);
//Change the color of the actionbar by changing the value in the next line
actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(#FFFFFF));
Basically I followed this guide about customizing the Action bar https://developer.android.com/training/basics/actionbar/styling.html
and have this style in my styles.xml
<style name="Blue" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/light_blue</item>
<!-- colorPrimaryDark is used for the status bar -->
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/dark_blue</item>
<!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for colorControlActivated
which is used to tint widgets -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/light_blue</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTabText</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="actionBarTabTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTabText</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
with this custom action bar to change title text to white
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
<item name="android:subtitleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarSubtitleText</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar title text -->
<style name="MyActionBarTitleText"
parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
<!-- The textColor property is backward compatible with the Support Library -->
<item name="textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar subtitle text -->
<style name="MyActionBarSubtitleText"
parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textSize">10sp</item>
<!-- The textColor property is backward compatible with the Support Library -->
<item name="textColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="textSize">10sp</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar tabs text -->
<style name="MyActionBarTabText"
parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.TabText">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="textColor">#color/white</item>
<!-- The textColor property is backward compatible with the Support Library -->
</style>
but apparently the text and icon color remains black. Am I missing something?
If you just want the text to be white, that is the default for Theme.AppCompat or, if you want a light activity, use Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar
