How to give background into context menu items

Question

In one of my Android projects, I am creating a context menu from a menu folder inside res. It is as below.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:id="@+id/help"
    android:title="Help" />
  <item android:id="@+id/keyboard"
    android:title="Keyboard" />
  <item android:id="@+id/exit"
    android:title="Exit" />
</menu>

But I want an image to the background of every item. How can I do this?

Try this:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:id="@+id/help"
    android:title="Help" 
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_1/>
  <item android:id="@+id/keyboard"
    android:title="Keyboard"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_2" />
  <item android:id="@+id/exit"
    android:title="Exit" 
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_3/>
</menu>

Use styles in your app. Then you can change a default style of Widget.ListView. Note this also changed a style of dialogs with ListView. More details see in this answer.
