title: How do I change the style(color) of tabs in action bar v7 of android ?
body: <p>I'm trying this to change the color and style of tabs in action bar using the v7 support library. But only the color of action bar is changed not the tabs. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- the theme applied to the application or activity --&gt;
  &lt;style name="CustomActionBarTheme"
         parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"&gt;
  
  
      &lt;!-- Support library compatibility --&gt;
      &lt;item name="actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/MyActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="actionBarTabStyle"&gt;@style/TabStyle&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- ActionBar styles --&gt;
  &lt;style name="MyActionBar"
         parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse"&gt;
  
  
      &lt;!-- Support library compatibility --&gt;
      &lt;item name="background"&gt;@color/action_bar&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="TabStyle"
      parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.TabView"&gt;
