I want to change text color of menu item programmatically in option menu of ActionBar with its showAsAction parameter set to app:showAsAction="always".

I can change the text color of menu item when its app:showAsAction="never" using this -

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    MenuItem liveitem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_settings);
    SpannableString s = new SpannableString(liveitem.getTitle().toString());
    s.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, s.length(), 0);
    liveitem.setTitle(s);

    return true;
}

Any suggestion on how to change it if its "always" .

I got a similar question here and here. but this answer is not concrete and cant be applied to all api versions.
