Changing overflow icon in the action bar

by

You can with a style, but you have to add it to the main Theme declaration.

<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="Your.Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
        <!-- Pointer to Overflow style ***MUST*** go here or it will not work -->
        <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/OverFlow</item>
    </style>

    <!-- Styles -->
    <style name="OverFlow" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow">
        <item name="android:src">@drawable/ic_action_overflow</item>
    </style>

</resources>

You also can change it dynamically, which I go into detail about here:
