How to set the text color of titlebar?

Question

I am using this as the theme.

<style name="ThemeSelector" parent="android:Theme.Light">
    <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/WindowTitleBackground</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TitleTextColor</item>
</style>

<style name="WindowTitleBackground">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/waterblue</item>        
</style>

<style name="TitleTextColor">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
</style>

With this background image is got assigned but text color is not changing.

In manifest I am using like this.

<application
    android:name="com.example"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/logo"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeSelector">

Answer 1

This is worked for me.

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

<style name="ThemeSelector" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/myTheme.ActionBar</item>        
</style>

<style name="myTheme.ActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/lblue</item>
    <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/myTheme.ActionBar.Text</item>
    <item name="android:height">@dimen/app_head_height</item>
</style>

<style name="myTheme.ActionBar.Text" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/app_head</item>
</style>

Answer 2

Try this

<style name="ThemeSelector" parent="android:Theme.Light">
    <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/WindowTitleBackground</item>
    <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/TitleTextColor</item>
</style>

<style name="WindowTitleBackground">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/waterblue</item>        
</style>

<style name="TitleTextColor">
    <item name="android:text">@string/app_name</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">10sp</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#a23421</item>
</style>

Answer 3

I guess the attribute name will be android:titleTextStyle instead of android:textAppearance

Answer 5

Here's a code snippet I found online: It worked perfectly for me.

private void createCustomActionBar() {
    this.getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
    this.getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
    LayoutInflater inflator = LayoutInflater.from(this);
    View v = inflator.inflate(R.layout.title_bar, null);
    Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"Lobster-Regular.ttf");
    ((TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.lblActionBarTitle)).setTypeface(tf);
    ((TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.lblActionBarTitle)).setTypeface(tf);
    this.getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(v);
    this.getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#212121")));
}

Call this method just after your setContentView(R.layout.main_activity) line in your main activity. If you are using a standard activity replace the instances of getSupportActionBar with getActionBar.

Add the following line in your style.xml for API level 23 and above.

<item name="android:titleTextColor">@color/black</item>
