actionTab text in lowerCase [duplicate]

Hello I am using the Sherlock library to achieve the ActionBarTabs in Android but there is some weird issue that text appear in the Tabs are all caps. I dont want to make all caps to captital. How can I achive this ?
I tried this but this is not working
values-v14.xml
<style name="TariffPlansTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
<item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">#style/MyMenuTextAppearance</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">#style/MyMenuTextAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="MyMenuTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name="TariffPlansActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_tariff_plans"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/TariffPlansTheme">
</activity>
Thanks in advance.

This solved my issue. I was using wrong parent style Menu instead of Tab
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light" />
<style name="TariffPlansTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
<item name="actionBarTabTextStyle">#style/My.TabText.Style</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">#style/My.TabText.Style</item>
</style>
<style name="My.TabText.Style" parent="#style/Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar.TabText">
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
</resources>

Android: Title Bar Color don't change

I wanna change my Apps Titlebar color and tried it in this way:
Part of the manifest file:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/Theme.MyTitleBar" ></application>
The style block part of the file styles.xml:
<style name="Theme.MyTitleBar" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:background">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
But only the text color and attributes changes correct. Any guest what I did wrong?

EDIT: I added the part for the ActionBar (sorry I put only for Dialogs at first)
You can follow this, it will allow you to change moreover other attributes that just the title bar:
Just call your custom theme in the manifest file:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
Then create these 2 styles in your styles.xml. The first one defines the theme, the second one, one of the styles to apply on the theme:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/ActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarStyle" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:background">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
NOTE: In this example, I customize the theme Holo Light as you can see with this: android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.

Add This style.xml File in your project according to your requirment...
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/myActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="myActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/myActionBar.titleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="myActionBar.titleTextStyle" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/darkgrey</item>
</style>
<style name="myActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#e6ebc3</item>
</style>

Android: Add a style to the actionbar on one activity

I want to add a style from styles.xml
<style name="BlueActionBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/blue</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
</style>
to my Actionbar but just on the Activity BlueActivity (which is still blank). How to do that? I'm stuck :'(
edit:
Why does adding
android:actionBarStyle="#style/BlueActionBar"
to BlueActivity in the Manifest not work?

themes.xml:
<style name="Theme.Project.Activity1" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Project.Activity1.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Project.Activity1.ActionBar</item>
</style>
AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name="com.example.Activity1"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Project.Activity1"
/>

Themes overriding each other?

In my styles.xml file I have a style to remove the title bar and other styles to change my tabwidget's font size:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<style name="RemoveTitleBar" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:tabWidgetStyle">#style/CustomTabWidget</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomTabWidget" parent="android:style/Widget.TabWidget">
<item name="android:textAppearance">#style/CustomTabWidgetText</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomTabWidgetText" parent="android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.TabWidget">
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
In my AndroidManifest.xml file I set the RemoveTitleBar style to the application which works fine:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher_test_icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/RemoveTitleBar"
....
However when I apply the CustomTheme style to my activity with tabs, I get the title bar back. But if I remove the line it works fine.
<activity android:name=".TabActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/CustomTheme"> </activity>
Am I going about this the wrong way or do I have to change something in my styles.xml file? Thanks for you time.

You are extending CustomTheme with "android:style/Theme":
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:tabWidgetStyle">#style/CustomTabWidget</item>
</style>
and the titleBar is available in in this you aren't removing the titleBar, you will again need to remove the titleBar like this:
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:tabWidgetStyle">#style/CustomTabWidget</item>
<item name="android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">true</item>
</style>

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

I have a style applied to my whole application:
AndroidManifest.xml:
<application android:theme="#style/ApplicationStyle" android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
And in my styles.xml:
<style name="ApplicationStyle" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:button">#style/CKButton</item>
</style>
<style name="CKButton" parent="android:style/Widget.Button">
<item name="android:textSize">19sp</item>
<item name="android:layout_margin">0dip</item>
<item name="android:background">#ff0000</item>
</style>
But the style doesn't get applied.
I'm sorry if I just used the false name in the ApplicationStyle - Item, but I have no clue where to look for the object names and simply assumed, that android:button applies to all buttons.

For Android styles, you reference the preset attributes that Android has laid out in R.attr. In this case, it looks like you want to to reference android:buttonStyle. I think this would work:
<style name="ApplicationStyle" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:buttonStyle">#style/CKButton</item>
</style>

For Material components theme it would be like this:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="materialButtonStyle">#style/AppTheme.Button</item>
</style>
