[android-developers] Re: how to change background of an overflow menuitem

ok, i found a solution for my problem: link to a post in the ActionBarSherlock google group

i've overseen this entry: android:actionBarWidgetTheme in the Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar theme.

now all i had to do is define a theme that overrides Theme.Holo with one style in it: <item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/myDropDownListView</item> and point to this theme instead.

    <!-- theme referenced by actionBarWidgetTehme style -->

    <style name="Theme.DropDown.Dark" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo">

        <item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/myDropDownListView</item>

    </style>

    <!-- my main theme -->

    <style name="DarkActionBarRedActionMode" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">

        <item name="android:actionBarWidgetTheme">@style/Theme.DropDown.Dark</item>

    </style>
