I have a toolbar with the following layout
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="@color/primary_dark"
android:theme="@style/ToolbarTheme"/>
and the theme I'm using
<style name="ToolbarTheme" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item>
<item name="android:popupBackground">@color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">@color/black</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/white</item>
</style>
Now on pre-lollipop devices the selectable background for the menu items works just fine but on lollipop there's no background for tapping those items. What do I need to add to get the ripple effect for lollipop?
OK so for anyone interested I figured it out. You need to define a separate style for your toolbar in the 'values-v21' folder then add the following items to it:
<item name="selectableItemBackground">?android:selectableItemBackground</item>
<item name="android:colorControlHighlight">@color/ripple_material_dark</item>
By the way, my AppTheme inherits from Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar
