title: Android Action bar Background
body: <p>I have been trying to change the background of my action bar for quite some time now. I found some posts here of users who could change the background but not the text color. In my example this is the contrary as the background is giving me problems. </p>
  
  <p>I have not created any dynamic design from my activity.</p>
  
  <p>The following is my style.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style name="MyTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/MyTheme.ActionBarStyle&lt;/item&gt;  
  &lt;/style&gt;     
  
  &lt;style name="MyTheme.ActionBarStyle" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar"&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:titleTextStyle"&gt;@style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;#FD5200&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title"&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;#FD5200&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any knows what might be causing this?</p>
