How to change title color in android app?

I tried:

this.setTitleColor(Color.BLUE); 

but it changes the color of the written text, not the color of the title.

Answer 1

The getWindow () method of the context returns the current view context, to get the Activity title bar, android.id.id.title

 View title = getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.title); View titleBar = (View) title.getParent(); titleBar.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);`
