How to change option menu icon in the action bar?

问题:

How to change the index icon of option menu?

I mean icon (3).

Here is my code:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.options, menu);

    return true;
}

And here is the XML file:

<item android:id="@+id/Bugreport"
    android:title="@string/option_bugreport" />

<item android:id="@+id/Info"
    android:title="@string/option_info" />

<item android:id="@+id/About"
    android:title="@string/option_about" />

The following lines should be updated in app -> main -> res -> values -> Styles.xml

 <!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
    <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyActionButtonOverflow</item>
</style>

<!-- Style to replace actionbar overflow icon. set item 'android:actionOverflowButtonStyle' in AppTheme -->
<style name="MyActionButtonOverflow" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionButton.Overflow">
    <item name="android:src">@drawable/ic_launcher</item>
    <item name="android:background">?android:attr/actionBarItemBackground</item>
    <item name="android:contentDescription">"Lala"</item>
</style>

This is how it can be done. If you want to change the overflow icon in action bar

I got a simpler solution which worked perfectly for me :

Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(),R.drawable.change_pass);
        toolbar.setOverflowIcon(drawable);

//just edit menu.xml file    
//add icon for item which will change default setting icon
//add sub menus


 ///menu.xml file


    <item
            android:id="@+id/action_settings"
            android:orderInCategory="100"
            android:title="@string/action_settings"
            android:icon="@drawable/your_icon"
            app:showAsAction="always" >

            <menu>

                <item android:id="@+id/action_menu1"
                    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_preferences"
                    android:title="menu 1" />

                <item android:id="@+id/action_menu2"
                    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_help"
                    android:title="menu 2" />

            </menu>
        </item>

1) Declare menu in your class.

private Menu menu;

2) In onCreateOptionsMenu do the following :

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    this.menu = menu;
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_orders_screen, menu);
    return true;
}   

3) In onOptionsItemSelected, get the item and do the changes as required(icon, text, colour, background)

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.action_search) {
        return true;
    }
    if (id == R.id.ventor_status) {
        return true;
    }
    if (id == R.id.action_settings_online) {
        menu.getItem(0).setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.history_converted));
        menu.getItem(1).setTitle("Online");
        return true;
    }
    if (id == R.id.action_settings_offline) {
        menu.getItem(0).setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.cross));
        menu.getItem(1).setTitle("Offline");
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

Note:
If you have 3 menu items :
menu.getItem(0) = 1 item,
menu.getItem(1) = 2 iteam,
menu.getItem(2) = 3 item

Based on this make the changes accordingly as per your requirement.

This works properly in my case:

Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(),
                                              R.drawable.change_pass);
toolbar.setOverflowIcon(drawable);

Use the example of Syed Raza Mehdi and add on the Application theme the name=actionOverflowButtonStyle parameter for compatibility.

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
    <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyActionButtonOverflow</item>

    <!-- For compatibility -->
    <item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyActionButtonOverflow</item>

</style>

回答7:

you can achieve this by doing

<item
    android:id="@+id/menus"
    android:actionProviderClass="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow"
    android:icon="@drawable/your_icon"
    android:showAsAction="always">
  <item android:id="@+id/Bugreport"
   android:title="@string/option_bugreport" />

  <item android:id="@+id/Info"
  android:title="@string/option_info" />

 <item android:id="@+id/About"
   android:title="@string/option_about" />
  </item>

1. Change your custom overflow icon of Actionbar in styles.xml

    <resources>
       <!-- Base application theme. -->
       <style name=“MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
          <!-- Pointer to Overflow style DONT forget! -->
          <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyOverFlow</item>
       </style>
   
       <!-- Styles -->
       <style name="MyOverFlow" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow">
           <item name="android:src">@drawable/ic_your_action_overflow</item>
       </style>
    </resources>
   

2. Put custom theme "MyTheme" in application tag of AndroidManifest.xml

   <application
       android:name="com.example.android.MainApp"
       android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
   </application>
   

Have fun.@.@

An short and easy way to change color of option menu index icon is:

<!-- android:textColorSecondary is the color of the menu overflow icon (three vertical dots) -->
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/optionMenuIconColor</item>

Add above line of code into style.xml (custom theme) file, Hope you get answer,Thanks.

If you want to change icon/title menu in the actionbar/toolbar programmatically,

STEP by STEP

1. Declare Menu in class

private var mMenu: Menu? = null

2. Overide onCreateOptionsMenu method and find item so you need to change

   override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {
   mMenu = menu
   menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu)
   if (mIsFavorite){
       mMenu?.findItem(R.id.action_favorite)?.icon = yourDrawable
   } else {
       mMenu?.findItem(R.id.action_favorite)?.icon = yourDrawable
   }
   return true
   

   }

3. Use invalidateOptionsMenu() to update some changes in menu after onCreateOptionsMenu executed. This method will re-create menu

回答11:

this work for me, just set your xml menu like this:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item
        android:icon="@drawable/your_icon"
        android:title="menu"
        app:showAsAction="always">
        <menu>

            <item
                android:id="@+id/action_menu1"
                android:orderInCategory="1"
                android:title="menu 1" />

            <item
                android:id="@+id/action_menu2"
                android:orderInCategory="2"
                android:title="menu 2" />

        </menu>
    </item>
</menu>
