I have tried to change the background color of options menu in my android app. I am using ActionBarSherlock library. I have tried this code for changing the background color of options menu

https://stackoverflow.com/a/8475357/584095

But I ended up with an exception "java.lang.illegalstateexception: a factory has already been set on this layoutinflater" at line

LayoutInflater.setFactory();

I don't know what is wrong in this code. Can anyone help me in resolving this issue?

This happens because you are using compatibility library. It sets own Factory to deal with platform specific layouts. You may try to set own factory in onCreate() method before calling super.onCreate(). This will disallow compatibility library to override factory and you will be unable to inflate fragments from xml files, but styling should work.
