How to change MenuItem icon in ActionBar programmatically? I tried to use

MenuItem menuItem = (MenuItem)findViewById(R.id.action_settings);

Answer 1

I resolved this problem this way:

In onCreateOptionsMenu:

this.menu = menu;
this.menu.add("calendar");
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(getActivity());
imageView.setMinimumHeight(128);
imageView.setMinimumWidth(128);
imageView.setImageDrawable(yourDrawable);
MenuItem item = this.menu.getItem(0);
item.setActionView(imageView);

in onOptionsItemSelected:

if (item.getOrder() == 0) {
    //TODO
    return true;
}
