How to change actionModeCloseDrawable icon dynamically?

I am setting up the actionModeCloseDrawable icon as below

<item name="actionModeCloseDrawable">@drawable/ic_actionbar_back</item>

But I want to change it pro-grammatically on paticular event.

Is there any way to do so?

I have tried defining two styles and changing it on runtime, but that also didn't work.

Solution

    Code

     new Handler(Looper.myLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            ((AppCompatImageView)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.action_mode_close_button)).setImageDrawable(getContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_person_white_24dp));
        }
    },5000);

    After enter image description here

    Assumption & State:

    1. You are using support action mode.
    2. In my example, ActionBar is a part of Fragment hence getActivity().findViewById(int resId)
    3. I have used Handler to simulate the delay of an event you are talking about.

    Hope this helps.
