How to change the Text color of Menu item in Android?
One simple line in your theme :)
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/your_color</item>
It seems that an
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">@style/myCustomMenuTextAppearance</item>in my theme and
<style name="myCustomMenuTextAppearance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item"> <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/primary_text_dark</item> </style>in styles.xml change the style of list-items but not menu items.
You can change the color of the MenuItem text easily by using SpannableString instead of String.
@Overridepublic 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);}
