android - How to change Menu Item Color & Size programmatically?

Question

I searched a lot in google and found in stackoverflow one link how to change color of text using styles and themes but I dont know how to use in code.

<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small"> 
        <item name="android:textColor">#ff0000</item> 
    </style> 

Please give me snippet for better understanding. I know how to change the background of menuItem by using Factory.In that we can find the View object. Is there any facility to get menu Item. Then we can change the color of menuItem?

try this code to change background and text color....

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
    getLayoutInflater().setFactory(new Factory() {
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(String name, Context context,
                    AttributeSet attrs) {
                if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("com.android.internal.view.menu.IconMenuItemView")) {
                try {
                    LayoutInflater f = getLayoutInflater();
                    final View view = f.createView(name, null, attrs);
                    new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
                            // set the background drawable
                                view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.my_ac_menu_background);

                            // set the text color
                                ((TextView) view).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
                            }
                        });
                        return view;
                    } catch (InflateException e) {
                    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }
        });
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }
