Custom Appcompat Theme Not Changing Overflow Icon On Older Devices

Recently I decided to change the Action Overflow Icon on my app. I got it working on Lollipop devices, but it isn't working on my Ice Cream Sandwich and Kitkat device. Note: on bot

Solution 1:

You are using android:actionOverflowButtonStyle, which is the correct approach for replacing the framework overflow button, only available on Lollipop and higher devices.

However, AppCompat has its own actionOverflowButtonStyle attribute which works on all API 7+ devices - you should use that in place of android:actionOverflowButtonStyle:

<stylename="AppTheme"parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"><itemname="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/OverflowMenuButton</item>

    ...

</style>
