How can I change the color of the Android Action Bar? -

I'm trying to change the color of your Android ActionBar, but my app each time ended with an error . I have tried all other suggestions and improvements in other positions, but they do not work for me. Also - minSdkVersion 19

Error:

  java.lang IllegalStateException: you theme with this activity. The app comet theme (or lineage) must be used.  

You only have one activity using this @ style / custom action theme . You have inherited the definition from Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar . This is not a AppCompat topic. Change theme.holo.light.click actionbar to Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar .
