Same layout produces different color on tablet

when I launch my app on tablet emulator it shows different colors. See this image (I have cut the right side of the image so it shows just a part of it)

enter image description here

And this is from the standart smartphone emulator:

So you see that there is a strange difference. However the code is the same. Here is my layout xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.markupartist.android.actionbar.example"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <com.markupartist.android.widget.ActionBar
        android:id="@+id/actionbar"
        style="@style/ActionBar"
        app:title="@string/some_title" />

    <RelativeLayout
        xmlns:a="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        a:layout_width="fill_parent"
        a:layout_height="fill_parent"
        a:background="#ffffff" >

        <LinearLayout
            a:layout_width="fill_parent"
            a:layout_height="wrap_content"

            a:paddingBottom="5dip"
            a:paddingLeft="5dip"
            a:paddingRight="5dip"
            a:paddingTop="5dip" >

            <MultiAutoCompleteTextView

            </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Any ideas what might be wrong or how to fix it?

It is not wrong but intended. Android uses the default style of the device / android version. The default style for tablets is different to those on smartphones. Since it is a good idea to stick to the default styles with your app this behaviour you see there is just right.
