I am using the toolbar for android. I just want to change the background color of the overflow menu. But it is not changing.
Style xml
<style name="MyDarkToolbarStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
<item name="popupTheme">@style/PopupMenuStyle</item>
<item name="theme">@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupMenuStyle" parent="android:Widget.Holo.Light.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">@android:color/white</item>
</style>
Toolbar XML
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/tool_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/ColorPrimary"
android:elevation="2dp"
android:theme="@style/MyDarkToolbarStyle" />
To change the toolbar options menu color, add this to your toolbar element
app:popupTheme="@style/MyDarkToolbarStyle"
Then in your styles.xml
define the popup menu style
<style name="MyDarkToolbarStyle" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:colorBackground">@color/mtrl_white_100</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/mtrl_light_blue_900</item>
</style>
Note that you need to use colorBackground
not background
. The latter would be applied to everything (the menu itself and each menu item), the former applies only to the popup menu.
