How do i change the Overflow Menu icon on the far right of the action bar as seen in the image below? My Holo theme specifies this 3 row black stack icon by default and i want something else. i can't seem to find a solution for this. I have looked at the documentation on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html but it doesn't seem to lend much help.

Thanks!

You can try something like this:

<style name="MyTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
     <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyActionButtonOverflow</item>
</style>

<style name="MyActionButtonOverflow" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow">
    <item name="android:src">@drawable/my_action_bTutton_overflow</item>
</style>

and in AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:theme="@style/MyTheme" >

Define a custom style: for example, let's call it customoverflow.

In this style you set android:src to the picture you would like to use. Now create a style with parent Theme.holo.

In this style you need to define:

<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/customoverflow</item>

I just tested this and it works.

<style name="ToolBarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:tint">@color/colorAccent</item>

create the above theme.set tint with your color and add this theme to the toolbar.

<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:theme="@style/ToolBarTheme"/>
