How to solve my problem? please help me?

Sorry now i saw it. Does DarkActionBar have a field textColorPrimary at the first place? Take a look http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39070040/textcolor-vs-textcolorprimary-vs-textcolorsecondary — resw67, Apr 26 '17 at 11:45
append android: like android:textColorPrimary . It is in android namespace — Zar E Ahmer, Jan 19 '18 at 09:31

The problem solved by change the theme parent to parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light". So now the style.xml is

<style name="AppTheme.GrayStatusBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/textColorPrimary</item>

</style>

Because you forgot to specify android for textColorPrimary and textColorSecondary. please check code below:

<style name="ToolbarThemeDemo" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

In your values folder there should be a colors.xml file that defines your textColorPrimary color, e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="textColorPrimary">#ff004080</color>
</resources>

Replace #ff004080 with the ARGB code of your color of choice.
