Change ActionBar text color
I want to change my ActionBar color to blue (#0c01e3). My code is working because the actionbar background property is doing its job. But the text won't change. Any ideas? I'm using ABS.
<style name="MyActionBar1" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:backgroundSplit">#06e301</item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">#06e301</item>
<item name="android:background">#06e301</item>
<item name="background">#06e301</item>
<item name="backgroundSplit">#B9001F</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#0c01e3</item>

On the theme, there is an attribute, actionItemTextColor, which controls this color.
Remember to specify it with and without the android: prefix when using ActionBarSherlock.
Set this in your Java Page .It works for me
ActionBar ab = getActionBar();
ab.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ffffff'>App Name</font>"));
add this and then try
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
To improve on the answer of @IntelliJ Amiya:
getActionBar().setTitle(
Html.fromHtml("<font color='" + getResources().getColor(R.color.my_color) + "'>"
+ getString(R.string.title_home) + "</font>"));
If you want to change that using xml ... This is what worked for me ...
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">@color/titleBarBgColor</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
<item name="android:subtitleTextStyle">@style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="background">@color/titleBarBgColor</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">@style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
<item name="subtitleTextStyle">@style/EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="EldTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/titleBarTextColor</item>
</style>
