Changing overflow icon in the action bar

Question

Is it possible to change the overflow icon in the action bar? I have blue icons for all ActionBar items and I also want to change the overflow icon when it appears.

Answer 1

You can with a style, but you have to add it to the main Theme declaration.

<resources>     <!-- Base application theme. -->     <style name="Your.Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">         <!-- Pointer to Overflow style ***MUST*** go here or it will not work -->         <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/OverFlow</item>     </style>      <!-- Styles -->     <style name="OverFlow" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow">         <item name="android:src">@drawable/ic_action_overflow</item>     </style>  </resources> 

You also can change it dynamically, which I go into detail about here:
