Answer 1

So, if like me you are using Android Studio 1.4.1 and you are new to android programming, setting title and background colors can be done as follow :

Background:(check colors.xml with this generated code for BlanckActivity)

    #3F51B5
    #303F9F
    #FF4081

Title,Subtitle and popup menu and its items (check "styles.xml") :

I hope this can help someone who like me is confused in first steps provided with official android tutorials.
