title: Using a selector for a MenuItem in the ActionBar
body: <p>I'm using ActionBarSherlock. I have a MenuItem, and I want to use a custom selector with only that MenuItem, not the others in the ActionBar. This is the menu code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" &gt;
  
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/menu_include_location"
          android:icon="@drawable/icon_place_selector"
          android:showAsAction="always"
          android:title="@string/menu_include_location"/&gt;
  
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/menu_send"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_send"
          android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
          android:title="@string/menu_send"/&gt;
  
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the icon_place_selector.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
  
      &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/location_place" android:state_pressed="false"/&gt;
      &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/location_no_gradient" android:state_pressed="true"/&gt;
  
  &lt;/selector&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The issue is that in the MenuItem, the icon is only a small part of it. Here's a screenshot of what shows up. The entire background should change, and not just the icon. How do I do that?</p>
