setBackgroundDrawable not working properly [duplicate]

Question

In my application, I am using actionbarsherlock. I use

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrwable(R.drawable.test).

It works fine, the color is showed as expected, however when I go to another activity and go back to the main activity. The bar color is changed to black (in my program, I dont set black for the backgrounddrawble and just call setSupportAction().setBackgroundDrawable in onStart()). However, if I change the code to

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0xff550000)));

The app works fine. When I click on back button, the color is set to 0xff55000 which is expected.

Answer 1

I will suggest not to use the color code directly this way while you are trying to set the color programmatically. It will not take it. just try out this way..

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(mContext.getResources().getColor(Color.BLACK)));

Hope it will work for you.
