354 PointsChange Top Menu Background Color
In an android app, how can I change the Menu's background color?
I only have one activity with the default menu for the blank activity layout.
I'm trying to make the background of that menu a nice "#cc324b" color but I can't figure out how to do it. I've been trying to google it but everyone online posts stuff I dont understand.
Thanks :)

Treehouse TeacherWe are going to talk about this in the upcoming Implement Designs for Android app. Unfortunately, what seems like it should be easy is somewhat convoluted. Your best bet is to use the Asset Style Generator, like in this StackOverflow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20077381/475217
