Android Question Problem defining menu color in manifest

[Gabino A. de la Gala]

I am defining the different colors in the Manifest but I have not found yet how to define the background color of the options list when I display the menu.

I'm using the example code of this thread: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/theme-colors.87716/

I only changed it adding:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    Activity.AddMenuItem3("", "refresh", LoadBitmapResize(File.DirAssets, "ic_cached_white_24dp.png", 32dip, 32dip, True), True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3("", "done", LoadBitmapResize(File.DirAssets, "ic_done_white_24dp.png", 32dip, 32dip, True), True)

    ' NEW LINES ADDED
    Activity.AddMenuItem("Opcion 1", "OP1")
    Activity.AddMenuItem("Opcion 2", "OP2")
    Activity.AddMenuItem("Opcion 3", "OP3")
End Sub

As far as i know you can not change the Backgroundcolor of this Menu.

Use B4XDrawer for the Menu. Here you can add any Layout you like.

It is possible with AppCompat: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/appcompat-with-toolbar-minimal-example.79896/post-509998

At the moment I managed to add the following line to the manifest:

<item name = "android: colorBackground"> @ color / statusbar </item>

This changed the background color of the entire application, not just the menu. But in my case it was even good for me.
