android - ActionBar Fill Entire Bar (No Grey Background) -

need help

i can't title bar/action bar change colour red (#ff0000), remains grey.

styles:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <style name="themeselector" parent="android:theme.holo.light">     <item name="android:actionbarstyle">@style/actionbar</item> </style>  <style name="actionbar" parent="android:style/widget.holo.actionbar">          <item name="android:background">#ff0000</item> </style> </resources> 

update: (mainfest)

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.twostarii.actionbardemo" android:versioncode="1" android:versionname="1.0" >  <uses-sdk     android:minsdkversion="11"     android:targetsdkversion="19" />  <application     android:allowbackup="true"     android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"     android:label="@string/app_name"     android:theme="@style/themeselector" >     <activity         android:name="com.twostarii.actionbardemo.mainactivity"         android:label="@string/app_name"         android:theme="@android:style/theme" >         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />              <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />         </intent-filter>     </activity> </application> 

you can set color action bar @ dynamically,

    public  actionbar mactionbar;      mactionbar = getactionbar();     mactionbar.setbackgrounddrawable(new colordrawable(0xff00dded));     mactionbar.setdisplayshowtitleenabled(false);     mactionbar.setdisplayshowtitleenabled(true); 

or @ static , should add style on manifest.xml as,

  android:theme="@style/themeselector" 

for activity
