Change title text color and size of android action bar
I am developing an Android application and in my application I am using Sherlock's action bar. I am using some kind of menu in my action bar.
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/card_menu"
android:title="C123"
android:showAsAction="always">
<menu>
<item android:id="@+id/C0"
android:title="C0"/>
<item android:id="@+id/c1"
android:title="c1" />
<item android:id="@+id/c2"
android:title="c2" />
</menu>
</item>
<item android:id="@+id/notification"
android:title="Notifications"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:actionLayout="@layout/notification_icon"
android:icon="@drawable/notification"
/>
<item android:id="@+id/filter"
android:icon="@drawable/filter"
android:title="Filter"
android:showAsAction="always"
/>
</menu>
and I will display this menu in my activity like this.
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_type2, menu);
now what i want to do is change the title color of my menu item (c123). I can change the color of the submenu from the style, but was unable to change this element text. I tried it in the following way.
// this change my sunbmenu text color but I am not able to change color of item text(c123)
<item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/MyPopupMenu</item>
<item name="dropDownListViewStyle">@style/MyPopupMenu</item>
<style name="MyPopupMenu" parent="Widget.Sherlock.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:dropDownSelector">@color/white</item>
<item name="android:dividerHeight">@dimen/divider_height</item>
<item name="android:divider">@color/maroon</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.PopupMenu" parent="android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
</style>

You can easily change the color of the text MenuItem
using SpannableString
instead String
.
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.your_menu, menu);
int positionOfMenuItem = 0; // or whatever...
MenuItem item = menu.getItem(positionOfMenuItem);
SpannableString s = new SpannableString("My red MenuItem");
s.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, s.length(), 0);
item.setTitle(s);
}
