Question

I use the following styles to style my ActionBar:

<style name="Theme.Bloodpressure" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar.Solid.Bloodpressure</item>
    </style>


    <style name="ActionBar.Solid.Bloodpressure" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/ab_background_textured_bloodpressure</item>
        <item name="android:backgroundSplit">@drawable/ab_background_textured_bloodpressure</item>
        <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
    </style>

    <style name="MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/action_bar_title_color</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/np_top_margin</item>
  </style>

I am being displayed the following menu icon: enter image description here

How do I show the holo light menu icon instead of the current black one?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The current icon is the Holo Light overflow icon.

You can override the overflow button style of the Holo Light-theme with android:actionOverflowButtonStyle

<style name="Theme.Bloodpressure" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar.Solid.Bloodpressure</item>

    /* Use Holo Dark style for the overflow icon*/
    <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@android:style/ActionBar.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow</item>
</style>
