Android Question [Resolved] B4X Pages - Action Bar - Replace 3 (three) Dot icon

[Jmu5667]

Hello

I am trying to replace the 3 dot icon using the following in my manifest:

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.
'See this link for for more information: https://www.b4x.com/forum/showthread.php?p=78136

<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)

'End of default text.

I have appCompat lib 4.02 included in the project. It is a B4XPages project.

I looked at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/dot-menu-color.86637/#post-548847 to see how it is done.

Does not seem to work. Any suggestions

Regards

John.

The values-14 section is no longer needed.

Can you upload a small project with AppCompat + B4XPages and that manifest snippet?

It doesn't look like you are using AppCompat toolbar and I don't recommend using it.

With the standard action bar you should be able to change the color of the overflow icon, not the icon itself.
