Change text and background color in title bar (Android)?

Question

I am creating an Android application and I am trying to change the title background and text color.

In AndroidManifest.xml:

<application ... android:theme="@style/ThemeSelector" > 

In styles.xml:

 <style name="ThemeSelector" parent="android:Theme.Light"> <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/WindowTitleBackground</item> </style> <style name="WindowTitleBackground"> <item name="android:background">@color/titlebackgroundcolor</item> <item name="android:textColor">@color/titletextcolor</item> </style> 

Using this code, I manage to change the background color, but not the color of the text.

Can you explain why this code is not working?

thanks
