Actionbar Text Color

How to change the text color in Android Action bar

Change in your style.

 <!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

Add underneath line:

    <item name="actionMenuTextColor">Your Color Here</item>
    <item name="textColorPrimary">Your Color Here</item>
</style>

Hope it helps.

I report it here:

I want to change title bar text color in material Components theme. Any help will be greatly appreciated

just add this to you base theme

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

Eg:

<!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="titleTextColor">@android:color/holo_green_dark</item>

    </style>

Change ActionBar text color after inheriting Theme.AppCompat.DayNight

Using the ActionBar in your theme you should use the actionBarStyle attribute:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight">
   <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/....</item>
</style>

<style name="MyActionBarStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
  <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/...</item>
</style>

If you are using the Toolbar API, you can also use

 <Toolbar
   app:titleTextColor="@color/...."
   ../>

Instead with the Material Components Library and the Toolbar API you can use:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight">
   <item name="toolbarStyle">@style/my_Toolbar</item>
</style>

<style name=my_Toolbar" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Toolbar">
    <item name="titleTextColor">@color/...</item>
</style>    

Change the title text color in the Android ActionBar via xml

I solved my problem. The problem was that I was testing in a device with api level 14+ and I just added the style to res/values . I had to add the style in res/values-v14 too. I attach my code:

res/values/styles.xml

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

<style name="Theme.Dbtools_style" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- Title Text Color -->
    <item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/white</item>
</style>

<style name="ActionBar.Solid.Dbtools_style" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
    <!-- Title Text Color -->
    <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
</style>

<!-- ActionBar title text -->
<style name="MyActionBarTitleText" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
</style>

res/values-v14/styles.xml

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

    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar.Solid.Dbtools_style</item>

    <!-- Title Text Color -->
    <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/white</item>
</style>

<style name="ActionBar.Solid.Dbtools_style" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
    <!-- Title Text color -->
    <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
</style>

<!-- ActionBar title text -->
<style name="MyActionBarTitleText" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    <!-- The textColor property is backward compatible with the Support Library -->
</style>
