android - Change actionbar color programmatically more than once

Question

I am using

getSherlockActivity().getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0xff00ACED));

To change the color of my action bar in a fragment and it works. But if i open this fragment then open another fragment that calls this method with a different color the actionbar doesn't change to the desired color. Instead it turns to a white color instead of the color I set it to.

Answer 1

this is a quick fix that i found

mActionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0xff00DDED));
mActionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
mActionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
