ActionBar MenuItem Divider

by

I found an answer by myself with help of http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2011/04/customizing-action-bar.html However, this does not completely solve my problem. It adds a divider for Title, and also one for the home Icon. There are also left and right separators. That too is adjustable.

I added android:selectableItemBackground to my theme.

<item name="android:selectableItemBackground">@drawable/action_bar_item_selector</item>

action_bar_item_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/actionbar_compat_separator"></item>

    <item android:left="1dp" android:drawable="@drawable/actionbar_compat_item"></item>

</layer-list>

actionbar_compat_separator – is my seperator drawable

and actionbar_compat_item is my selector for action bar item.

EDITED

I have found a better solution to my problem. It works well.

<item name="android:actionButtonStyle">@style/ActionButton</item> to my Theme

<style name="ActionButton" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionButton">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/action_bar_item_selector</item>
    </style>
