You havn't set LightTheme to your application.
Change this

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Material.Light")

To this

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/LightTheme")

 

[Erel]

This is not the correct way to set a light theme.

Correct manifest code:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)

 

[Brandsum]

This is not the correct way to set a light theme.

Correct manifest code:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)

The name of his custom theme is LightTheme.

 

[Erel]

You are correct!!!

 

[Dianzoa]

You havn't set LightTheme to your application.
Change this

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Material.Light")

To this

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/LightTheme")

Thank You! That works.

I need a little more help, How can I change the phone bar to the same color as my action bar? Also, the menu items is not readable because it's white.

you should create new thread for different question. this thread has already been solved so making this a long thread will not help other members

Ok ok. But I think is related to the original question, since the lighttheme by default makes the bar skyblue or something

 

[Dianzoa]

Anyway, this did it

<color name="textColor">#000000</color>
then

<item name="android:textColor">@color/textColor</item>
