Unable apply styles for action bar in android material design with appcompat

Hi I am building small android application in which I tried to change color for action-bar but it is not working for me. I tried it in following way:

 // in values/themes.xml.
 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="android:colorPrimary">#0097a7</item>
    <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#0097a7</item>
    <item name="android:colorAccent">#0097a7</item>

    <!-- <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item> -->
 </style>

I am using appcompat_7.But above styling is not working for me. Am I doing something wrong. Need some help.

With the appcompat v21, you have to remove the android: attribute.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="colorPrimary">#0097a7</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#0097a7</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">#0097a7</item>
 </style>

To use these styles you have to compile your project with API 21.
