How do I change the background color of the ActionBar of an ActionBarActivity using XML?

Question

Details:

I\'m extending ActionBarActivity.
Eclipse and SDK fully patched as of 2011-11-06.

Answer 1

Sometimes this option throws NullPointerException

ActionBar actionbar = getActionBar(); actionbar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable("color"));

But this option is worked for me. So you can try this.

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF")));

Happy Coding
