Answer 1

in your style.xml in values folder this will change your action bar color.. Replace #666666 with your selected color code for title background color and replace #000000 for your title text color.

<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/NewActionBar</item>
</style>

<style name="NewActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/TitleBarTextColor</item>
<item name="android:background">#666666</item>
</style>
<style name="TitleBarTextColor" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
    <item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
</style>

then dont forget to edit your manifest file -> android:theme="@style/NewTheme"

    <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/NewTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.nearby.welcome.Splash"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

</application>

I tried all the above methods, it does n't worked for me.I have just achieved through code below..

Spannable text = new SpannableString(actionBar.getTitle());
text.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE), 0, text.length(), Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
actionBar.setTitle(text);
