android-How to change fontsize in actionbar items api 8+

I'm using api 8+ . This is my code for making the menus :

    <item
    android:id="@+id/sortDate"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="@string/sortDate"
    yourapp:showAsAction="never"/>
<item
    android:id="@+id/sortPrice"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="@string/sortPrice"
    yourapp:showAsAction="never"/>

it shows me the menus but the text size is very large , I want to use my custom typeface and textsize for menus and also supporting api 8+ .

I've found someways but they work on api 11+

How can I do so ?

thanks

You have to use custom style in style.xml file:

<style name="CustomActionBar" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
  <item name="android:textSize">16dip</item>

You can use android support appcompat lib.This code custom action bar component with appcompat.

ActionBar mActionBar = getSupportActionBar(); mActionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); mActionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); **mActionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionview_main);** getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM); View mCustomView = mActionBar.getCustomView(); textViewTitle = (TextView) mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.textView_Title); ImageView menuImage = (ImageView) mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.imageView_menu); ImageView userImageView = (ImageView) mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.imageView_user);

You create action view xml file then actionbar setcustomview your xml file.

Try this -

Define text size in dimens in res/values/dimens.xml -

<dimen name="actionbar_textsize">TextSize</dimen>

Then add this code in res/values/styles -

<style name="MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/actionbar_textsize</item>
</style>

Then -

<item name="titleTextStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
