Android ActionBar compatibility: MenuItem.setActionView(View)

Question

I\'m using the appcompat7 lib for ActionBar backwards compatibility. Now I have a MenuItem that I retrieve, and then want to set an ImageView myView

Answer 1

Look at MenuItemCompat: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/MenuItemCompat.html

There is a static function setActionView(MenuItem item, View view)

So your code should look like:

MenuItem menuItemRefresh = menu.findItem(R.id.refresh);
menuItemRefresh = MenuItemCompat.setActionView(menuItemRefresh, myView);
