Toolbar popupTheme isn't white

I'm trying to set up my toolbar with white text and white dots menu, white popup and black text inside the popup, and trasparent background.
I'm also get it, but the popup is black and the test inside it's white. How could I change it?
That's my code:
styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
menu.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.example.bacci.testapp.MainActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Info"
android:orderInCategory="100"
app:showAsAction="never" />
mainActivity.xml
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
android:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
And the MainActivity class:
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setTitle("RateMe.ai");
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
Actually the toolbar is trasparent, the text and the menu icon is white, but the popup where I have the option is black with white text. I want it white with black text.
Here a picture of the actual situation

Two Toolbars Showing

I recently added a CoordinatorLayout to my Application. How do i remove blue box, which is showing below the other toolbar. I already tried to remove the appbar layout and the navigation view, but they did not result in any changes.

Edit Styles.xml was added.
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">

</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</resources>
Just some random text to meet the posting requirements
Edit Problem is solved ty
I added an ID to the AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appbar_nav"
and disabled it in the onCreate Method of the Activity.
AppBarLayout mAppBarLayout = findViewById(R.id.appbar_nav);
mAppBarLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Set this theme to your styles.xml file.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

You can do this in style.xml
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<!-- <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>-->
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
</style>
and give this style to activity in manifest like,
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
android:label="#string/app_name">
</activity>
EXTRA :
if you want transparent status bar than add java code like,
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
Window w = getWindow(); // in Activity's onCreate() for instance
w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);
}
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
}

You should set below theme as your application theme or as an Activity theme
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

</resources>

I see you have already modified the background colors of your menu items, which I also achieved by adding to my Style
<item name="android:itemBackground">#drawable/myColors</item> and then you have the issue with the Header of the SubMenu which is White or being really precise is <color name="material_grey_50">#fffafafa</color> applied automatically by the parent theme you are using Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar.
To change the color of the header title of the submenu you will need your style.xml to have actionBarPopupTheme attribute and have the custom MyStyle style that I have written as below:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="android:itemBackground">#drawable/popup</item>
<item name="actionBarPopupTheme">#style/MyStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyStyle" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
</resources>

Add a custom style to your style.xml file with parent parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu" and give it a popupBackground attribute

Text Size and Style of Toolbar Android

I am developing application which have multi screen support. I have completed all remain layout as per device size but I am unable to increase Actionbar/Toolbar size for same. its looking small in 10inch tablet. How can I increase size of toolbar text ?
My Style XML is like below
<resources>
<!--
Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced
by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
-->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
</style>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.FullScreen" parent="noActionBar">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>
<style name="noActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="OptionDialog" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Dialog.Alert">
<item name="colorAccent">#C5CAE9</item>
<item name="android:background">#3F51B5</item>
<item name="android:textColor">?android:attr/textColorPrimaryInverseDisableOnly</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<style name="SelectableItemTheme">
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#888888</item>
</style>
<style name="SelectableItemBackground">
<item name="android:theme">#style/SelectableItemTheme</item>
<item name="android:background">?attr/selectableItemBackground</item>
</style>
<style name="HomeTabTextStyle"
parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
<item name="android:textSize">35sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
<!-- Action Bar Style -->
and my layout xml which including toolbar is like below
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="110dp"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
app:tabTextAppearance="#style/HomeTabTextStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
My Java Code is like below
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
setTitle("My App Name");

Toolbar is like any other layout; that means you can add elements inside it like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textColor="#color/colorText"
android:gravity="center|center_horizontal"
android:text="#string/title_activity_my_activity"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
This will change the title size of your toolbar title; as you wish.
I hope this helps you achieve your goal! Good luck.
UPDATE
If you want to manually set the activity title, you can set an id for the text view like this:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textColor="#color/colorText"
android:gravity="center|center_horizontal"
android:text="#string/title_activity_my_activity"/>
Then like usual,
TextView title = (TextView) toolbar.findViewById(R.id.title_text);
title.setText("New Title");
I hope this helps!

Android change popup menu text color

I've tried many things to change the text color when i click the "three dot" menu button but it always reverts back to the toolbar (android:theme) theme and not the android:popupTheme. I want the text to be black but it always shows up white.
styles.xml
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primaryColorDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accentColor</item>
</style>
<style name="MaterialWorkout_theme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#48FFFFFF</item>
</style>
<style name="Popup_theme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#000000</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#38000000</item>
</style>
app_bar.xml
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/primaryColor"
android:id="#+id/app_bar"
android:theme="#style/MaterialWorkout_theme"
android:popupTheme="#style/Popup_theme"
>
Here is what it looks like:

Solved it. changed my toolbar.xml file to this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:background="#color/primaryColor"
android:id="#+id/tool_bar"
android:theme="#style/MaterialWorkout_theme"
app:popupTheme="#style/Popup_theme">
notice the implementation of:
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
and
app:popupTheme="#style/Popup_theme"
these two lines solved my problem!

You need to define your popup menu theme in your style, not you Toolbar.
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primaryColorDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accentColor</item>
<item name="popupMenuStyle">#style/Popup_theme</item>
</style>

Use below code .I hope this will solve your problem.You can change both background color and textcolor.
<style name="AppFullScreenThemeNight" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">false</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu</item>
<!-- if using android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu -->
<item name="popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">#style/TextAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupMenu" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/button_color</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/holo_red_dark</item>
</style>
