Change Android toolbar color

I have an application that uses android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

. Each section of the application is one Fragment

that is accessed throughsupport.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

I need to change the color Toolbar

depending on which section is shown (especially for the client).

I have defined some colors in colors.xml

so that I can do something like:

changeToolbarColor(R.color.section_one);

/**/

private void changeToolbarColor(int color_res_id){
    Integer colorTo = getResources().getColor(color_res_id);
    toolbar.setBackgroundColor(colorTo);
}

The problem is that every time I use primaryColor

(the original foreground color from the toolbar) is now rendered with the new toolbar color.

So, if my toolbar was green and I change it to red, now everything using the old green is using red instead.

I suspect that changing the "Toolbar" background changes the definition itself primaryColor

(which doesn't make sense to me). As I have no other idea of ​​how unbound elements in unbound activities start to use the same color.

This is mistake? Anyone with this problem? Are there any workarounds available?

Thank you for your help.

First of all, themes are immutable , so it is not possible to change the main color of the application.

And try using getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable()

.



I am guessing it is something else that is causing the problem. Can you post more code?
