you can alter color of menuitem text using spannablestring instead of string.

@override public void oncreateoptionsmenu(menu menu, menuinflater inflater) { inflater.inflate(r.menu.your_menu, menu); int positionofmenuitem = 0; // or whatever... menuitem item = menu.getitem(positionofmenuitem); spannablestring s = new spannablestring("my reddish menuitem"); s.setspan(new foregroundcolorspan(color.red), 0, s.length(), 0); item.settitle(s); }
