You can do it from your Activity Class

In onCreate()

your method, Activity

just add these lines and do the necessary imports.



        android.app.ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
        bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#d44334")));

It also works in the support action bar.

You can come up with android:actionLayout

in your ad <item>

, post a comment if this is not suitable for you.

I think this menu is programmed with Java code instead of using the XML menu item. This post can explain a lot about creating menus programmatically.

Create xml which contains button and set it to menu item

<item
   android:id="@+id/actionViewLayout"
   android:showAsAction="always"
   android:title="Title"
   android:actionLayout="@layout/your_xml_file"
/>

<item
   android:id="@+id/actionViewLayout"
   android:showAsAction="always"
   android:title="Title"
   com.myapp.app:actionLayout="@layout/your_xml_file"
/>

It is important that you use your package name instead of "android" when using the SupportActionbar. Also don't forget to add the namespace to the XML.
