Android Question Dot menu color

[Ramon Bustamante]

Hi guys.
Based on the code https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/appcompat-with-toolbar-minimal-example.79896/, I want to know that it is posible to change the color of the 3 vertical dots to black, for example.

Please edit your post. Why post such large screenshot with the attached files? You can just remove the screenshot. It doesn't add anything useful.

Hello, I have just delete the image. It was only a screen capture and there were not files.

I thought that the 3 dits were an image. If I'm correct then you will either have to color theme from light to dark, or place an image in the drawable folder and set @drawable in the theme.xml file. Set the image for the three dots there, are called action overflow icon (I think).

Thanks Peter. I don't know where is the image. If I go to the designer and set Theme = Light, then the dots are black, so I have change the color.
Do you know what is the property to set in code?

I don't think that you can change the icon color. It is changed based on the theme.

You can however replace it with your own icon. For example:

CreateResource(values, theme.xml,
<resources>
  <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
     <item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/OverFlow</item>
  </style>
   <style name="OverFlow" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">
  <item name="android:src">@drawable/icon</item>
   </style>
   
</resources>
)

Replace /icon with your own icon file (it should go to res\drawable and be readonly).
