Actionbar title is not appearing

I am using AppCompat Library. in values/styles.xml I am using the following code 

<!--
    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="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!--
        Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
        res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
        backward-compatibility can go here.
    -->
</style>

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">

    <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle" tools:ignore="NewApi">@style/CLActionBar</item>
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/CLActionBar</item>
</style>

<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="CLActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
    <item name="android:background" tools:ignore="NewApi">@color/actionbar_bg_color</item>

I solved the issue I was using Theme.AppCompat.Light as app theme and @android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse" as actionbar theme. Changed this to @style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse and the issue is fixed. Thanks

    <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/TextAppearance.MYTheame.Widget.ActionBar.Title</item>
    <item name="background">@color/ab_bg</item>
