Since you are using the Toolbar, I also assume you are using the AppCompatActivity and have replaced the built in ActionBar with your custom Toolbar using setSupportActionBar(toolbar); First of all ensure you are importing the correct namespace: import androidx.appcompat.view.ActionMode; // Or import android.support.v7.view.ActionMode; and NOT import android.view.ActionMode; then use _actionMode = startSupportActionMode(this); and NOT _actionMode … Read more

again this is all in the link you supplied to change the text to white all you have to do is change the theme. use this theme <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” xmlns:app=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto” android:id=”@+id/activity_my_toolbar” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:minHeight=”?attr/actionBarSize” android:background=”?attr/colorPrimary” app:theme=”@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar” app:popupTheme=”@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light”/>
popupTheme Specifies the theme to use when inflating popup menus. By default, uses the same theme as the Toolbar itself. theme It is simply the theme of Toolbar.
Add similar code to your fragments: @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.library_fragment, parent, false); setHasOptionsMenu(true); return v; } @Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { inflater.inflate(R.menu.your_menu_xml, menu); super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater); } This way you can customize the menu for your fragments.
The recommended way to style the Toolbar for a Light.DarkActionBar clone would be to use Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionbar as parent/app theme and add the following attributes to the style to hide the default ActionBar: <style name=”AppTheme” parent=”Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar”> <item name=”windowActionBar”>false</item> <item name=”windowNoTitle”>true</item> </style> Then use the following as your Toolbar: <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:theme=”@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar”> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id=”@+id/toolbar” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”?attr/actionBarSize” … Read more
