title: How to change the background color of the action bar in Android?
body: <p>I was working hard to achieve this but I had no luck. What I tried to do is to change the background color from the style that I attached in my main style tag. This is my code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/MyActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item &gt;&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;#2E495E&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>Still nothing changed.
  I get this in my application:</p>
