Android toolbar menu text color

I'm trying to change the text color of the toolbar menu item here, but it doesn't work. Here's my style:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

    <item name="toolbarStyle">@style/AppTheme.ToolbarStyle</item>
    <item name="buttonStyle">@style/AppTheme.ButtonStyle</item>
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ToolbarStyle" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:background">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="titleTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="titleTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title
    </item>
    <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

layout xml:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    app:title="@string/app_name"
    app:titleMarginStart="@dimen/margin_l"
    />

I tried to set the toolbar theme directly to the xml, but the menu item still came back. Is there a solution for this?

In your theme file, you must specify:

<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
         ...
    <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/text_color</item>
         ...
 </style>

and apply above the theme to the toolbar view as shown in the picture android:theme="@style/AppTheme.ActionBar"



detailed example:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   android:id="@+id/main_toolbar"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
   android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
   android:layout_gravity="top"
   app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
   android:theme="@style/AppTheme.ActionBar"/>

Create a theme for the toolbar

<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
         ...
    <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/your_color_code</item>
         ...
 </style>

and apply this theme to the toolbar view like this:

<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_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
   android:layout_gravity="top"
   android:theme="@style/AppTheme.ActionBar"/>
