copied!<p>A solution is provided <a href="http://www.techjini.com/blog/2011/04/19/customizing-background-and-text-color-in-options-menu-android/" rel="nofollow">here</a> . But it does not seem to be a great way to do it. </p> <p>Try the following: </p> <pre><code>@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // TODO :create the menu MenuInflater inflator = getMenuInflater(); inflator.inflate(R.menu.home_screen_menu, menu); setMenuBackground(); return true; } </code></pre> <p>The following will just change the background : </p> <pre><code>protected void setMenuBackground() { // Log.d(TAG, "Enterting setMenuBackGround"); getLayoutInflater().setFactory(new Factory() { @Override public View onCreateView(String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("com.android.internal.view.menu.IconMenuItemView")) { try { // Ask our inflater to create the view LayoutInflater f = getLayoutInflater(); final View view = f.createView(name, null, attrs); /* * The background gets refreshed each time a new item is * added the options menu. So each time Android applies * the default background we need to set our own * background. This is done using a thread giving the * background change as runnable object */ new Handler().post(new Runnable() { public void run() { view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.menu_bg); } }); return view; } catch (InflateException e) { } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { } } return null; } }); } </code></pre> <p>I define menu_bg in drawable folder as :</p> <pre><code><xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"> <gradient android:startColor="#AA000000" android:endColor="#AA000000" android:angle="90"/> </shape> </code></pre> <p>to google android developers : please provide an easier way to do this!.</p>
