Menu resources are distinct from conventional layouts; you cannot simply add widgets into them and expect them to work. The only elements allowed inside a menu resource is or .

Using a custom layout inside a menu isn't possible, I'm afraid. You may instead want to replace the entire menu with a PopupWindow, and supply your layouts there instead.

You may want to consider two alternatives:

• Using a conventional menu entry as a toggle, or
• Placing the ToggleButton immediately inside the Actionbar/Toolbar, instead of inside the menu.
