B4X:

cs.Initialize.Append("").Color(Colors.red).PopAll
   
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout_Order")
    Activity.Title = cs

It looks like you haven't set the title text.

Change the code to:

B4X:

Activity.Title = cs.Initialize.Color(Colors.Red).Append("This is the title").PopAll

[/code]
Make sure to add it after you loaded all layouts.

    lbltitle.Initialize("")
  
    Activity.AddView(lbltitle,0,0,100%x,50dip)
    lbltitle.Text = "Activity title"
    lbltitle.TextColor = Colors.Black
    lbltitle.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL
    lbltitle.TextSize = 20
    Dim cd As ColorDrawable

Use AppCompat: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/appcompat-with-toolbar-minimal-example.79896/#content

The color is set in the manifest editor.

That is easier done using a "custom" title bar.
Use a panel, that way you can mimic the title bar and have all the extras you need

Have a look at an old lib of mine, dgActionBar. It may be of inspiration.
