I use actionbarsherlock. The piece of code below is responsible for changing it's background to a custom one.
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#drawable/actionbar_bg</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/actionbar_bg</item>
<...>
</style>
<style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="#style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<..>
</style>
And it works for actionbarsherlock (on versions below honeycomb). But in ICS I have a shadow below actionbar which I don't want. What is the style item to make it disappear?
What is the style item to make it disappear?
In order to remove the shadow add this to your app theme:
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
</style>
UPDATE:
As #Quinny898 stated, on Android 5.0 this has changed, you have to call setElevation(0) on your action bar. Note that if you're using the support library you must call it to that like so:
getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);
For Android 5.0, if you want to set it directly into a style use:
<item name="android:elevation">0dp</item>
and for Support library compatibility use:
<item name="elevation">0dp</item>
Example of style for a AppCompat light theme:
<style name="Theme.MyApp.ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<!-- remove shadow below action bar -->
<!-- <item name="android:elevation">0dp</item> -->
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="elevation">0dp</item>
</style>
Then apply this custom ActionBar style to you app theme:
<style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/Theme.MyApp.ActionBar</item>
</style>
For pre 5.0 Android, add this too to your app theme:
<!-- Remove shadow below action bar Android < 5.0 -->
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
On Android 5.0 this has changed, you have to call setElevation(0) on your action bar. Note that if you're using the support library you must call it to that like so:
getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);
It's unaffected by the windowContentOverlay style item, so no changes to styles are required
add app:elevation="0dp" in AppBarLayout for hiding shadow in appbar
If you are working with ActionBarSherlock
In your theme add this:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
....
<item name="windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
....
</style>
You must set app:elevation="0dp" in the android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout and then it works.
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
app:elevation="0dp"... >
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" >
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
app:elevation="0dp"
but not
android:elevation="0dp"
worked for me on android L
I have this same problem, and I have successfully solved this problem. All you have to do is just change the elevation to 0 floating point value in that activity in which you want to remove the elevation.
If you want to change it in an activity called MyActivity.java so you have to get the ActionBar first.
First import the ActionBar class
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
after importing you have to initialize a variable of action bar and set its elevation to 0.
private ActionBar toolbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
.
.
toolbar=getSupportActionBar();
toolbar.setElevation(0);
.
.
}
Solution for Kotlin (Android 3.3, Kotlin 1.3.20)
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
supportActionBar!!.elevation = 0f
}
For Xamarin Developers, please use : SupportActionBar.Elevation = 0; for AppCompatActivity or ActionBar.Elevation = 0; for non-compat Activities
Try This it helped me without changing theme . Put Your AppBarLayout inside any layout.Hope this will help you
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/app_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/white">
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/go_grocery_logo"
android:layout_width="108dp"
android:layout_height="32dp" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Add this toolbar.getBackground().setAlpha(0); to inside OnCreate method. The add this:
android:elevation="0dp" android:background="#android:color/transparent
to your toolbar xml file.
For those working on fragments and it disappeared after setting toolbar.getBackground().setAlpha(0); or any disappearance, i think you have to bring your AppBarLayout to the last in the xml, so its Fragment then AppBarLayout then relativelayout/constraint/linear whichever u use.
Use:
outLineAmbientShadowColor="#null"

I am trying as best I can to style the ActionBar (i.e. an android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar) in my app, but it just won't work. I am following the official documentation when trying to achieve this. What I am really trying to do is to make the title color white. It is currently displayed in black. My target API is 11.
What am I doing wrong?
res/values/themes.xml
<resources>

The inflated android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mm_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
In the Activity
// Setup main Toolbar
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) mInflatedActivity.findViewById(R.id.mm_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
I have tried everything I can think of and searched a lot online, but I cannot make it work. What am I missing?
Current result is (nevermind the search icon):
Adding style="#style/MMActionBar" to the xml properties of the android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar results in this:
Changing main parent theme to Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar does nothing.
Just use this in yout layout xml
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/red600"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
Set theme in xml itself to ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar which will make title text white.
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
And I guess this is the right way to theme Toolbar, since according to official Android Developer blog
Styling of Toolbar is done differently to the standard action bar, and
is set directly onto the view.
Here's a basic style you should be using when you're using a Toolbar
as your action bar:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar" />
The app:theme declaration will make sure that your text and items are
using solid colors (i.e 100% opacity white).
I have faced same problem. The following solution solved my problem.
For this you need to make changes at two places.
1.Modify your toolbar xml like this,
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#color/ColorPrimary"
android:elevation="2dp"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TV_tool_bar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My App Name"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Modify like this in your activity file.
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.tool_bar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(null);
Thats it. This will make your title color white. Cheers..!
Use this to change colors of the letters on the toolbar:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/ColorPrimary"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"
android:elevation="4dp"
>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
I've been spending hours trying to fix the changing action bar title size according to this stack overflow post:
Android Toolbar: small title text in landscape mode
Unfortunately, it seems that no matter what I do, anything regarding the actionbar style won't actually apply.
My styles v14 file:
<!-- Main theme -->
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">#drawable/selectable_background</item>
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">#style/DropDownListView.MyTheme</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">#style/ActionBarTabStyle.MyTheme</item>
<item name="android:actionDropDownStyle">#style/DropDownNav.MyTheme</item>
<item name="android:spinnerItemStyle">#style/Widget.MyTheme.TextView.SpinnerItem</item>
<item name="android:spinnerDropDownItemStyle">#style/Widget.MyTheme.DropDownItem</item>
</style>
My ActionBar styles:
<style name="Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/ab_solid</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/my_title_style</item>
</style>
<style name="my_title_style" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
And, of course, "MyTheme" is applied in the manifest as well - I've even tried adding it to all the individual activities as well, to no avail.
It seems that no matter what I do, stuff just won't apply. I've tried removing the android: namespace, I've tried using titleTextAppearance instead of titleTextStyle, I've basically emulated exactly how the parent themes do it, but it won't change anything. Anybody have a clue as to what's going on? I just recently updated to AppCompat so I'm not totally familiar with how everything works.
You need to use
<item name="background">#drawable/ab_solid</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/my_title_style</item>
for support library compatibility into your style.
Read Styling the Action Bar, section "For Android 2.1 and higher". Where it is given that you need to use two entries like
<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>
So your complete style would be
<style name="Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/ab_solid</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/my_title_style</item>
<item name="background">#drawable/ab_solid</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/my_title_style</item>
</style>
I don´t know if it's all that ou have made, but you have to add this code in the manifest(in the activity you want to apply this style):
<activity
android:name=".MyActivity"
android:label="#string/appName"
android:theme="#style/my_little_style" >
</activity>
Try in this way:
Create a layout for your Toolbar and put a TextView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:background="#b2b2b2">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textColor="#ff282828"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Include the layout in your .xml:
<include layout="#layout/toolbar_activities"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_layout"/>
Finally set a title in your java class:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_layout);
TextView mTitle = (TextView) toolbar.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
mTitle.setText("Your Title");
setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
I'm testing the new Toolbar and AppCompat theme on Android and ran into a problem. My toolbar title text looks normal-sized on portrait mode but it became rather small on landscape mode although I didn't do anything in the code to change the title's text size. Here are the screen shots:
activity_main.xml:
<!-- A DrawerLayout is intended to be used as the top-level content view using match_parent for both width and height to consume the full space available. -->

app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:layout_gravity="start"
tools:layout="#layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
styles.xml:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>

<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
</style>
<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="spinBars">true</item>
</style>
</resources>
I tried to set android:titleTextAppearance of the toolbar but the style wasn't being applied. Then I realized I'm using the AppCompat theme so I used app:titleTextAppearance and the style is now being applied. It looks like the small letters in landscape are a problem in the built-in AppCompat.Toolbar.Title style itself so I overrode it to set the font size manually. The final code:
Toolbar XML:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/main_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:titleTextAppearance="#style/ToolbarTitle"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
Toolbar Style:
<style name="ToolbarTitle" parent="#style/TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Title">
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
AOSP Issue #170707 was written regarding the change in text size for title and subtitle. Project Member response was "Works as intended. Identical to framework behavior." Although I don't find changing the text size to be the desirable default behavior, it sounds like the AppCompat engineers had to maintain consistency with the (flawed) framework behavior. Developers are then left to override the default styles as described in Chilly Chan's answer.
Additions to Chilly Chan's answer:
1) The subtitle text size can be controlled in a similar way by defining another style derived from TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Subtitle.
2) Default values for title/subtitle size in portrait orientation are 20dp/16dp (on my Galaxy S3, 4.4.2.). Chilly Chan's example specifies "17sp". Use "sp" only if you want to let user preference setting affect title/subtitle size.
I was looking for a solution without custom Toolbar, but with custom style and this code did the trick for me:
styles.xml
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyTitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTitleTextStyle" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title">
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item> <!-- Default for portrait is 20sp and for landscape 14sp-->
</style>
AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/MyTheme"/>
Where the MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity; tested on API 19, 22 and 23.
Try to add this to your toolbar section under the activity_main.xml.
android:minHeight="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
I also noticed that you are using standard dark action bar , suggest to use Theme with no action bar , defined a new toolbar where
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_awesome_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id=”#+id/my_awesome_toolbar”
android:layout_height=”wrap_content”
android:layout_width=”match_parent”
android:minHeight=”?attr/actionBarSize”
android:background=”?attr/colorPrimary” />
I think it has to do with some layout changes performed when you rotate the device, ast it looks like you can prevent the resize by adding something like
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
in the AndroidManifest.xml for the activity you're in. As always, android:configChanges has more implications so should be used only if you really need it :)
I want my ToolBar to serve as an ActionBar and I want it to look like a light theme with a dark action bar. I can't seem to find the right combination to do it.
This is what I have in styles.xml
<style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/my_awesome_color</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/my_awesome_text_color</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/my_awesome_darker_color</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
</style>
And My toolbar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" />
Currently I get this
What I want is that the menu items be white as well
Is there an elegant solution or do I have to choose a custom style for each one of the toolbar's items? It seems there should be.
You can use the following theme on your Toolbar to get it to appear "dark". The first portion app:theme themes the color of the text on Toolbar to be light among other things. The app:popupTheme is for styling the overflow menu indicator to be light.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="#dimen/triple_height_toolbar"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
I am sure am a bit late but to do that in your theme add:
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">my_awesome_text_color</item>
