I'm using the new MaterialComponents and my app theme is:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkColor</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/secondaryColor</item>
</style>
how to change the background color of ActionBar
I know about this question but it's outdated and doesn't use MaterialComponents
I don't want to add Toolbar to every screen just to change the background color.

To change background color of Action Bar in Kotlin Android, set the colorPrimary in themes. xml, with a required color. We can also dynamically change the background color of Action Bar programmatically by setting background drawable for support action bar with the required color drawable.
Step 1: After opening the android studio and creating a new project with an empty activity. Step 2: Navigate to res/values/colors. xml, and add a color that you want to change for the status bar. Step 3: In your MainActivity, add this code in your onCreate method.
You need use ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.ActionBar or ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar depending on the background color.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkColor</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/secondaryColor</item>
<item name="actionBarTheme">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="@style/ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#fff</item>
</style>
