I know that the guy asking the question may have found his own solution but for the people who are still looking for a solution this is a very simple solution but one thing it has a limitation till Kitkat so a condition is added if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) { getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS); }
If you want the default colors of Android ICS, you just have to go to your Android SDK and look for this path: platforms\android-15\data\res\values\colors.xml. Here you go: <!– For holo theme –> <drawable name=”screen_background_holo_light”>#fff3f3f3</drawable> <drawable name=”screen_background_holo_dark”>#ff000000</drawable> <color name=”background_holo_dark”>#ff000000</color> <color name=”background_holo_light”>#fff3f3f3</color> <color name=”bright_foreground_holo_dark”>@android:color/background_holo_light</color> <color name=”bright_foreground_holo_light”>@android:color/background_holo_dark</color> <color name=”bright_foreground_disabled_holo_dark”>#ff4c4c4c</color> <color name=”bright_foreground_disabled_holo_light”>#ffb2b2b2</color> <color name=”bright_foreground_inverse_holo_dark”>@android:color/bright_foreground_holo_light</color> <color name=”bright_foreground_inverse_holo_light”>@android:color/bright_foreground_holo_dark</color> <color name=”dim_foreground_holo_dark”>#bebebe</color> <color … Read more
It seems that it’s not customizable: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-developers/ZqZ-KZPLGtk
The recommended way to style the Toolbar for a Light.DarkActionBar clone would be to use Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionbar as parent/app theme and add the following attributes to the style to hide the default ActionBar: <style name=”AppTheme” parent=”Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar”> <item name=”windowActionBar”>false</item> <item name=”windowNoTitle”>true</item> </style> Then use the following as your Toolbar: <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” … Read more
You are getting this problem because the activity you are trying to apply the android:theme=”@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.Fullscreen”> to is extending ActionBarActivity which requires the AppCompat theme to be applied. Extend your activity from Activity rather than from ActionBarActivity You might have to change your Java class accordingly little bit. If you want to remove status bar too … Read more

the following styles working perfectly for me. <style name=”popupMenuStyle” parent=”Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar”> <item name=”android:textColor”>@color/color_white</item> <item name=”android:itemBackground”>@color/color_red</item> </style> here, parent should be the AppTheme parent and in your code use these lines. Context wrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, R.style.popupMenuStyle); PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(wrapper, v); i hope it will work.
Okay turned out that I made a really silly mistake. The device I am using for testing is running Android 4.0.4, API level 15. The styles.xml file that I was editing is in the default values folder. I edited the styles.xml in values-v14 folder and it works all fine now.
You can’t force the text color, it is auto generated (either white/black) based on your colorPrimary color.
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 … Read more
