Answer 1

I found this solution is usefull for me .hope it will help full new surfers.

your menu main.xml

After you inflated the custom menu, you can make a reference to the item of the menu. When you obtain the reference to the menu item, you will be able to customize the item to show icon and Unicode text. Your icon image file has to be stored in the

res/drawable folder.

@Override
   public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
     // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

   //reference to the item of the menu
   MenuItem i=menu.findItem(R.id.item1);
   Button button_menu =(Button) i.getActionView();

   if(itemuser!=null){
   // Create Typeface object to use unicode font in assets folder
   Typeface font= Typeface.createFromAsset(getApplicationContext().getAssets(),"fonts/arial.ttf");
   // Set unicode font to menu item
   button_menu .setTypeface(font);  
   // Set item text and color
   button_menu .setText(getResources().getString(R.string._text));
   button_menu .setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
   // Make item background transparent
   button_menu .setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
   // Show icon next to the text
   Drawable icon=getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.user);
   button_menu .setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( icon, null, null, null );
}

return true;

   }
