How to change Toolbar Color with different views?

Question

I am setting up my Toolbar in my main activity and trying to change the background color with different fragments. So basically, I am trying to access the Toolbar object inside fragment and set different background color. Few things which I have tried to do is :

Access toolbar like: ((ActionBarActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundColor(XXX);

But I am unable to access the setBackgroundColor function inside fragment. It is perfectly working inside the Main Activity.

Create a method in Main Activity and Call that method from each fragment. — Jitender Dev, Mar 27 '15 at 10:29

@nitinku5021a A simple static method will do . No need to implement a Callback. Just use a plain static method. — Jitender Dev, Mar 27 '15 at 10:34

Tried my life out, the color is getting changed but weird thing is: If I set it red, it becomes blue and so on. I think somewhere the color is getting mixed i.e Red is getting painted over something. I even tried of removing the color altogether but no success. I will look into this in more detail and will post back. – nitinku5021a Mar 27 '15 at 12:33
Have a look this for reference, http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html#AdvancedStyles – Chirag Savsani Mar 27 '15 at 13:07

It is very easy to change the ToolBar, Actionbar color.

ActionBar bar = getSupportActionBar();
bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable("COLOR"));

or
