title: Android : Change theme background of Popup menu
body: <p>My popum menu has a black background theme color when i click on an item in my action bar. I would like to change the theme of my popup menu to have a holo light (white) color.</p>
  
  <p>How can i do this?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my style.xml file, which is empty for the moment :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
  
      &lt;!--
          Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced
          by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
  
  
  
      --&gt;
      &lt;style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light"&gt;
          &lt;!--
              Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
              res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
              backward-compatibility can go here.
  
  
  
          --&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- Application theme. --&gt;
      &lt;style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"&gt;
  
          &lt;!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. --&gt;
  
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And extract of manifest :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;application
          android:name="com.app.ccccccc.activities.cccccccc"
          android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
          android:allowBackup="true"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_blob"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@style/AppTheme" &gt;
  </code></pre>
