On the previsualicer of the mobile phone, you can choose the theme here and choose material (dark or light)

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">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButton</item>
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">#style/OverflowMenu</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBarLogo</item>

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>

ActionBar has correct colors in Android 4.2, wrong colors in Android 2.3

I'm using ActionBarSherlock and HoloEverywhere in my app. I used the ActionBar Style Generator to generate my styles and then modified them a bit by hand for text colors, etc.
I'm having a problem where my ActionBar looks correct on my Android 4.2 device (that is, orange with white text), but on my Android 2.3 device the ActionBar is black with grey text.
Does anyone know what might cause this?

--------------- EDIT ----------------------
So I'm now having a problem where the action bar is taking up the entire screen on the Android 2.3 device (but works fine on Android 4.2). Do I need to remove the "android:" from the parent attributes?
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow"
When I tried this, Eclipse was unable to find the theme.

As per the official docs, you need to also declare the attributes without the android: namespace. In your case, those attributes are only getting applied to the native implementation.

Changing The Style Of Actionbar Overflow

I am using Theme.Holo in My Current android app.
Above is the overflow UI from my current theme.
I want to customize overflow menu's background color to RGB (245, 243, 239), and the font color to RGB (64, 64, 64).
Following is the style.xml I am using
<style name="CustomActivityTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/CustomActivityTheme.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#000000</item>

<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/CustomActivityTheme.ActionBar.Text</item>
<item name="android:subtitleTextStyle">#style/CustomActivityTheme.ActionBar.Text</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomActivityTheme.ActionBar.Text" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>

<item name="android:background">?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator</item>
</style>
<!-- style for removing the floating dialog -->

</style>
<!-- style for transparent image resource activity -->

<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>

<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">#anim/grow_from_action_bar</item>
<item name="android:windowExitAnimation">#anim/shrink_to_action_bar</item>
</style>
How can I customize theme to match overflow menu's background color to RGB (245, 243, 239), and the font color to RGB (64, 64, 64) in above code?
Thanks in advance..

to change text color you can use :
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu" >#style/m_textAppearanceLargePopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu" >#style/m_textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu</item>
<style name="m_textAppearanceLargePopupMenu" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.PopupMenu.Large">
<item name="android:textColor">#FFF</item>
</style>
<style name="m_textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.PopupMenu.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#FFF</item>
</style>
this will change the popup menu text color to white

Try this:
<style name="CustomActivityTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo">
...
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyPopupMenu</item>
...
</style>
<style name="MyPopupMenu" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:background">#f5fdef</item>
</style>
