You need to change color primary and color primary dark in style.xml where your app theme color code was written

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>

Thanks for the reply man but I have applied a PNG image as the background and it has a gradient effect in it so it's not a clean look. – hysabone.com Feb 08 '18 at 11:56

change from colorPrimaryDark to colorPrimary to all the item in style.xml file.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
