Android Sub-Menu Items Have Extra White Space To Right of Icon

Question

I have an Android sub-menu, declared with this code:

<item
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_share"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:title="Share">
    <menu>
        <item
            android:id="@+id/menuSortNewest"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_share"/>
        <item
            android:id="@+id/menuSortRating"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_share"/>
    </menu>
</item>

The problem is that each item in the menu is an icon with a bunch of extra white space to the right of the icon. I just want the icon with no white space beside it. How do I achieve that?

Here is a screenshot of the application:

OP, As per the discussion in the comments, it's likely you'll need to create your own PopUpMenu to get the functionality you desire, please see:
