Change Android 5.0 Actionbar color

by

AppCompat does not use the android: prefixed attributes for the Material Theme color palette items per the migration guide to v21 by the author of AppCompat. Instead, just use the names themselves:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryDef</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkDef</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/primaryDef</item>

    <item name="android:navigationBarColor">@color/primaryDarkDef</item>
    <item name="android:activatedBackgroundIndicator">@drawable/defbg</item>
</style>

The Action Bar will be colored by colorPrimary.
