I cannot upload images here, so here is the file: Android ActionBar Problem

My values ​​/ styles File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<!--
    Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced

</style>

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>
</style>

<!-- Action Bar theme -->
<style name="ActionBarTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

    <item name="background">@drawable/actionbar</item>
</style>

<style name="FullscreenTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

    <item name="android:paddingBottom">0dp</item>
    <item name="android:background">@android:drawable/bottom_bar</item>
</style>

<style name="ButtonBarButton" />

</resources>

      

My manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.application"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

    android:minSdkVersion="11"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/symbol"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.application.Main"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@style/FullscreenTheme" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="com.application.Settings"
        android:parentActivityName="com.application.Main"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@style/ActionBarTheme">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value="com.application.Main" />
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="com.application.DateList"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@style/FullscreenTheme" >
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>

      

I also try to do this but the same thing happened

ColorDrawable draw = new ColorDrawable(R.color.grey);
getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(draw);

      

My color drawing

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid
        android:color="@color/grey" />

</shape>

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(draw);

      

should be in your case

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(getResources.getDrawable(R.drawable.your_drawable_name);

      

The constructor ColorDrawable

takes ints that represent color, not color id

. Use instenad

ColorDrawable draw = new ColorDrawable(getResources().getColor(R.color.grey));



Edit:

about style.xml, you need both elements with and without android prefix:

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
   <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>  
   <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>
</style>

      

Lint is probably going to complain about this because of the minSDK value. if possible you can add tools:ignore="NewApi"

to the element with a prefix android:

. For example:

 <item name="android:actionBarStyle" tools:ignore="NewApi">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>
