Toolbar background is dark color, I want text and back arrow to be white. I tried following, but it doesnt work.
<style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/blue</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/blue_darker</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/purple</item>
<!-- item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item--> // I don't want to set this, changes everywhere.
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/white</item>
<item name="android:toolbarStyle">@style/AppTheme.ToolbarStyle</item>
<item name="toolbarStyle">@style/AppTheme.ToolbarStyle</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/AppTheme.DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ToolbarStyle" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
<!--<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/AppTheme.OverflowButtonStyle</item>-->
<item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item> // doesn't work
<item name="titleTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse</item>
<item name="android:titleTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse</item>
<item name="subtitleTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Subtitle</item>
</style>
Chances are you are extending from the wrong parent. If not, you can try adding the style to the toolbar layout directly, if you want to override the theme's settings.
In your toolbar layout:
<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/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="@style/ToolBarStyle"
app:popupTheme="@style/ToolBarPopupStyle"
android:background="@color/actionbar_color" />
In your styles:
<!-- ToolBar -->
<style name="ToolBarStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/ActionButtonOverflowStyle</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>
Add the following as toolbar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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/toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Then in the layout where you needed
<include layout="@layout/toolbar"/>
Enjoy
Inside Activity, you can use
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toolbar.setTitleTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.white));
If you love to choose xml for both title color & back arrow white just add this style in style.xml .
<style name="ToolBarStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
</style>
And toolbar look like :
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:theme="@style/ToolBarStyle"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
/>
This solution might be easier. But it does require a higher API version(23). simply add this code to your toolbar in XML:
<Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?android:attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
android:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:titleTextColor="#ffffffff" />
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimaryDark"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<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/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="@color/actionBar"
app:titleTextAppearance="@style/ToolbarTitleText"
app:theme="@style/ToolBarStyle">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
style="@style/ToolbarTitleText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="hh"/>
<!-- ToolBar -->
<style name="ToolBarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#ff63BBF7</item>
</style>
use app:theme="@style/ToolBarStyle"
Reference resources：http://blog.csdn.net/wyyl1/article/details/45972371
this method helped me.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/highlightRed</item>
<item name="actionBarTheme">@style/ToolbarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="ToolbarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item>
</style>
Try this on your XML file
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
app:titleTextColor="@color/colorAccent"
app:theme="@style/ToolbarColoredBackArrow"
app:subtitleTextColor="@color/colorAccent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
And add this is your colors.xml file
<color name="colorAccent">YOUR_COLOR</color>
If you use AndroidX (as of July 2019)
you may add these:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Light"/>
NOTE! This was tested to work if your Toolbar is placed directly inside AppBarLayout but not inside CollapsingToolbarLayout
Try a lot of methods, in the low version of the API,a feasible method is <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/your_color</item> and don't use the Android namespace
ps:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<!-- change the textColor -->
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/actionMenuTextColor</item>
</style>
I used placeholders so just follow along, as you might want to still keep the inheritance from the original style.
Before
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:theme="@style/{{originalBaseStyle}}"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
After:
styles.xml
<style name="{{yourToolbarStyle}}" parent="{{originalBaseStyle}}">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/ActionButtonOverflowStyle</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>
Therefore
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:theme="@style/{{yourToolbarStyle}}"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
If we follow the activity template created by Android Studios, it's the AppBarLayout that needs to have an android theme of AppBarOverlay, which you should define in the your styles.xml. That should give you your white color toobar/actionbar color text.
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/app_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"> ...
In styles.xml, make sure the following exists:
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
add this line to toolbar tag. 100% working android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"
If using the latest iteration of Android Studio 3.0 and generating your Activity classes, in your styles files change this:
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
To this:
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar" />
To change the Toolbar's back icon drawable you can use this:
Add the <item name="toolbarStyle">@style/ToolbarStyle</item> into your Theme.
And here is the ToolbarStyle itself:
<style name="ToolbarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
<item name="navigationIcon">@drawable/ic_up_indicator</item>
</style>
