I want show dividers between menu items in android actionbar
Icon1 | Icon2 | icon3
my code for showing menu items is
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_time"
android:icon="@drawable/action_time_btn_stateful"
android:title="time"
peel:showAsAction="always"/>
<item android:id="@+id/menu_room_change"
android:icon="@drawable/action_room_btn_stateful"
android:title="change"
peel:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_like_set"
android:icon="@drawable/like_button"
android:title="Like"
peel:showAsAction="always" />
Thanks in advance.
Simply put,
your actionbar in ICS and later version is limited to show 4 items in menu.
The rest of the items can be shown when you tap on overflow menu (vertical 3 dotted line).
So adding a divider between items counts divider is also a menu item.
Did you take a look at these already :)
Is there a standard way to add dividers between action bar items in Android 3.0?
ActionBar MenuItem Divider
I suggest get your icons with divider on their left or right based on your requirement.
Not a good practice. But let me know if you find a better solution :)
Try setting custom style
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBar" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">@color/action_bar_background</item>
<item name="android:showDividers">beginning</item>
<item name="android:divider">@color/action_bar_divider</item>
</style>
