Transparent Actionbar: custom tabcolor

by

Call setStackedBackgroundDrawable() on your ActionBar:

getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY);
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#330000ff")));
actionBar.setStackedBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#550000ff")));

This produces (as an example with some random icons and tabs, and two different bluish background colors to highlight the effect):

(The refresh icon is the default one, which comes with a slight transparency. The other icons are custom test icons with color #FFFFFFFF, that is, no transparency).
