I am getting below output in 10 inch device

and in 4.7 inch device, it is showing output(with white text color instead if #404040 color code)

Here, I am able to set the background color but, menu item text color is not changed in 4.7 inch device

in 4.7 inch device, i am not having overflow menu icon, I am opening this menu by pressing menu button.

How to set the text color same as 10 inch device?

Thanx in advance!!!

My menu layout code is:

Answer 1

You should be able to change the color of the text easily by using SpannableString instead of String - no need for dirty workarounds ;-)

SpannableString s = new SpannableString("My red MenuItem");
s.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, s.length(), 0);
item.setTitle(s);

Answer 2

I have solved by changing the background color by code of menu by checking the device version.

If device doen't support overflow menu, the, you can change the background color of menu as well as you can also change menu text color using following one:

static final Class<?>[] constructorSignature = new Class[] {Context.class, AttributeSet.class};

class MenuColorFix implements LayoutInflater.Factory {
public View onCreateView(String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("com.android.internal.view.menu.ListMenuItemView")) {
        try {
            Class<? extends ViewGroup> clazz = context.getClassLoader().loadClass(name).asSubclass(ViewGroup.class);
            Constructor<? extends ViewGroup> constructor = clazz.getConstructor(constructorSignature);
            final ViewGroup view = constructor.newInstance(new Object[]{context,attrs});

            new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        view.setBackgroundColor(Color.GRAY);
                        List<View> children = getAllChildren(view);
                        for(int i = 0; i< children.size(); i++) {
                            View child = children.get(i);
                            if ( child instanceof TextView ) {
                                ((TextView)child).setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    catch (Exception e) {
                        Log.i(TAG, "Caught Exception!",e);
                    }

                }
            });
            return view;
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Caught Exception!",e);
        }
    }
    return null;
}       
}

public List<View> getAllChildren(ViewGroup vg) {
ArrayList<View> result = new ArrayList<View>();
for ( int i = 0; i < vg.getChildCount(); i++ ) {
    View child = vg.getChildAt(i);
    if ( child instanceof ViewGroup) {
        result.addAll(getAllChildren((ViewGroup)child));
    }
    else {
        result.add(child);
    }
}
return result;
}

//and in onCreateContextMenu, placed following code

@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
LayoutInflater lInflater = getLayoutInflater();
if ( lInflater.getFactory() == null ) {
    lInflater.setFactory(new MenuColorFix());
}
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.myMenu, menu);
}
