Android ActionBar overflow menu style

I've set up a simple menu with one position like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:context=".MainActivity">

<item android:id="@+id/action_language" android:title="@string/language"
    android:orderInCategory="100" />
</menu>

using

Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar

style. When I click the three dots the menu position appears instead of the icon, not below it? Is there any way to make it appear under the icon, not 'on' it?

Actually you can't do anything with this icon, but you can create menu item with android:actionLayout="@layout/custom_lauout". Then you can create Popup Window, which allows such positioning. In popupWindow you will show all items that must show under "three dots item".

Here rea a few links which can help you: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/PopupWindow.html https://stackoverflow.com/a/23516493/3864698
