I'm having difficulty making my Action Bar title text colour go white. Having followed examples I believe my code is correct, however the text appears black. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? ``` @style/Widget.MyApp.ActionBar @style/Widget.MyApp.ActionBar @style/Widget.MyApp.TitleTextStyle @style/Widget.MyApp.TitleTextStyle @drawable/gradient_blue @drawable/gradient_blue @color/white @color/white ``` Many thanks in…

Use the following, just customize the `actionBarStyle` property: ``` @style/Widget.MyApp.ActionBar @style/Widget.MyApp.ActionBar @style/Widget.MyApp.TitleTextStyle @style/Widget.MyApp.TitleTextStyle @color/white ``` and you can customize `textSize` of title too.

Action Bar Sherlock 4 title text colour - where am I going wrong?

actionbarsherlock, android, java

Solution

Use the following, just customize the `actionBarStyle` property:

<resources>
    <style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
        <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.MyApp.ActionBar</item>
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.MyApp.ActionBar</item>
    </style>

    <style name="Widget.MyApp.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar">
        <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/Widget.MyApp.TitleTextStyle</item>
        <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/Widget.MyApp.TitleTextStyle</item>
    </style>

    <style name="Widget.MyApp.TitleTextStyle" parent="TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    </style>
</resources>

and you can customize `textSize` of title too.
