EditText not using theme

My EditText isn't using the theme I've assigned to it.
Here is my activity's property in AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="Index"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/IndexTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize" >
</activity>
Here is my styles.xml:
<style name="IndexTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
<item name="android:textCursorDrawable">#drawable/cursor_dark</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/text_c</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/primary</item>
</style>
<style name="IndexEditText" parent="#android:style/Widget.EditText">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">16dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">16dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">16dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">16dp</item>
</style>
And here is my styles.xml (v21):
<style name="IndexTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
<item name="alertDialogTheme">#style/AlertDialogTheme</item>
</style>
Yesterday it was working fine. Today I updated my support libraries from v22 to v23.1.1 and it not longer works.
Why?

use both these 2 lines instead
<item name="editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
<item name="android:editTextStyle">#style/IndexEditText</item>
It's works for me.

Action bar style theme generator theme not getting applied

So I used the action bar style generator to create a theme with style compatibility mode set to AppCompat. I downloaded the ZIP file and copy and pasted all the files inside my folder but the theme isn't showing up when emulator is ran.

When dynamically changing theme colourPrimaryDark is not taking effect

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.

Hi,I need to customize my actionBar title Text Color and subTitle Text Color. I used the above style but there is no change.

Try The Following...
style.xml
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/login_background</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#color/theme_blue</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/ActionBarTitleText</item>
<item name="subtitleTextStyle">#style/ActionBarSubTitleText</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarTitleText" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/stdDarkBlueText</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarSubTitleText" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Subtitle">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/stdDarkBlueText</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
</resources>
Apply this theme to your application in Manifest File..
AndroidManifest.xml
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_icon128"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" // apply theme here
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >

i have done with simple one line code
actionBar.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ff0000'>ActionBartitle </font>"));

How do I apply a style to all spinners of an Android application

Applying a button style to entire app:
<style name="ApplicationStyle" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:buttonStyle">#style/MyButton</item>
</style>
but how do you do for a spinner? I want to do it like in my example...and substitute spinner ..i.e: "android:spinnerStyle" ?

manifest:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon_new"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/ApplicationStyle"
style.xml:
<style name="holoSpinner" parent="#android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/spinner_holo_sel</item>
