Android Question change programmatically the icon on a menuitem

[acorrias]

Hi all
I have an app using TABSTRIP library.

I need to change the icon of a menuitem programmatically as a switch. I show in the accivity menu an italian icon with language app set to english. When I press the italian icon, the language must switch to italian and the icon must switch to english.

Activity.AddMenuItem3("MenuItem", "uk", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_uk.png"), True)

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks in advance
Alex

No.

You need to use an Alternative for your Navigation which is editable). For AppCompat for example there is a tutorial on how to create editable menus.

I cannot manage appcompat.
I get some errors so I abandoned that library. I lack of knowhow about the proper version of android support library to use (I have 23.2.1) and the style resources (I don't know if I need some folder named values-v20 or values-v23 or other way).

I get errors launching app, even if I think to have followed what is suggested in the appcompat related post.

I have to find a workAround.

Do you think that it is no possible to switch icons even using reflection or javaobject libs?

Any way, I have the solution, as last chance, to add "settings" icon (a gear) with two submenus, one for each language

thanks
