I'm not able to set the transparency or any other color to the Actionbar. My style.xml:
<style name="thin_actionbar" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/thin_actionbar_style</item>
</style>
<style name="thin_actionbar_style" parent="android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
<item name="android:height">60dp</item>
<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/ic_drawer</item>
<item name="android:background">@color/translucent_control</item>
</style>
tranlucent_color: like the bar in the screenshot below.
Looks like this. It's just grey:
Please help me!
try this code
<item name="android:background">@null</item>
If this does'nt helps you, Check this link with this Code
Call setStackedBackgroundDrawable()
on your ActionBar
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY);
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#330000ff")));
actionBar.setStackedBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#550000ff")));
OR this link , this code
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
...
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item> <!-- for ActionBarSherlock -->
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>

<item name="android:background">@android:color/transparent</item>
