Custom ActionBar appearance in Android 4.3

Question

I customized the appearance of the name of my application in the action bar with the following code

<style name="myTheme.ActionBar.Text" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ff2d2d2d</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">26sp</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-condensed</item>
    <item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>

In any case, everything works fine on most devices that I tested (3 for clarification), but for 1 - a device running Android 4.3 (Sony Xperia Z), where the style was not applied. I later tested it on an emulator with 4.3 and had the same result.

Is there any way to fix this?

Here is the full style for the application

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">

        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/myTheme.ActionBar</item>
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="android:textViewStyle">@style/RobotoTextViewStyle</item>
        <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/RobotoButtonStyle</item>
        <item name="android:editTextBackground">@drawable/apptheme_edit_text_holo_dark</item>

        <item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">@drawable/nav_list_selector</item>

    </style>


    <style name="RobotoTextViewStyle" parent="android:Widget.TextView">
        <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
    </style>

    <style name="RobotoButtonStyle" parent="android:Widget.Holo.Button">
        <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
    </style>

    <style name="myTheme.ActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
        <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/myTheme.ActionBar.Text</item>
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/action_bar_bg</item>
        <item name="android:searchButtonText">SEARCH</item>
        <item name="android:editTextBackground">@drawable/apptheme_edit_text_holo_dark</item>

    </style>

    <style name="myTheme.ActionBar.Text" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
        <item name="android:textColor">#ff2d2d2d</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">26sp</item>
        <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-condensed</item>
        <item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
    </style>

</resources>

For me it works like a charm. Let me create a custom action bar view

Res / Layout / action_title_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:text=""
        android:textAllCaps="true"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textColor="@color/actionbar_text" />

</RelativeLayout>

Set a custom action bar in your onCreate activity

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // set action bar custom view
    getActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
    getActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

    LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater) this
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    mCustomActionView = inflator.inflate(R.layout.action_title_view, null);

    // assign the view to the actionbar
    getActionBar().setCustomView(mCustomActionView);

    ...
}

setTitle

@Override
public void setTitle(CharSequence title) {
    mTitle = title;
    ((TextView) mCustomActionView.findViewById(R.id.title)).setText(mTitle);
    getActionBar().setTitle("");
}

setTitle, . , .
