How to change ActionMode background color in Android

May 31, 2023 by Tarik

In my case i resolved with this. First i created a style to define the actionModeBackground:

<style name="MyTheme.ActionMode" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:actionModeBackground">#FFFFFF</item>
</style>

Then i add the style into my base application theme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <item name="android:actionModeStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionMode</item>
</style>

Hope it helps!!!
