I am using this tutorial, and trying to make Figure 6 : Action items and Overflow menu in Split Action Bar

Please help me to show Overflow Menu Items (ICON) to ActionBar

Now whenever i do click on Menu Button in emulator, then i am getting rest Menu Items ....

Answer 1

Just to say that If your device has a menu-button, the overflow-icon won't show, on the newer phones the overflow button will show. I would not reccomend ASMUIRTI's answer since it is an awful hack that breaks consistency with the rest of the apps on the platform.

you must use

android:showAsAction="never"

and let the android device decide if the overflow menu is needed for that device.

Answer 2

To show three dot icon, to Action Bar, just use below method in your OnCreate():

   private void getOverflowMenu() {

    try {
       ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(this);
       Field menuKeyField = ViewConfiguration.class.getDeclaredField("sHasPermanentMenuKey");
       if(menuKeyField != null) {
           menuKeyField.setAccessible(true);
           menuKeyField.setBoolean(config, false);
       }
   } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
   }
 }

Answer 3

This could be another work around, which really helped me. Keep one drawable with three dots and give it as a menu item.

 <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >


<item
    android:id="@+id/saveDetails"
    android:showAsAction="always"
    android:title="@string/save"/>

<item
    android:id="@+id/menu_overflow"
    android:icon="@drawable/dts"
    android:orderInCategory="11111"
    android:showAsAction="always">
    <menu>
        <item
            android:id="@+id/contacts"
            android:showAsAction="never"
            android:title="Contacts"/>


        <item
            android:id="@+id/service_Tasks"
            android:showAsAction="never"
            android:title="Service Tasks"/>


        <item
            android:id="@+id/charge_summary"
            android:showAsAction="never"
            android:title="Charge Summary"/>


        <item
            android:id="@+id/capture_signature"
            android:showAsAction="never"
            android:title="Capture Signature"/>
    </menu>
</item>

 </menu>

Answer 4

If I understand your question correctly and you want to show all your icons on the action bar change this parameters in your menu items

android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"

to this

android:showAsAction="always"

Answer 5

如果您使用支持库，为了在操作栏中显示菜单项，您必须使用xml中的以下语法：

yourappname:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"

Answer 6

The phones which have menu hardware button show extra menu items on click of the hardware button. Newer phones, with no hardware menu button automatically add an Overflow menu icon to the Action Bar. The extra menu items are those which have "showAsAction" property set to never.

Answer 7

Within AndroidManifest.xml between add

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"

which adds the action bar in your application.

After that, go to menu.xml and add the followings

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools

between Finally in each item add

android:showAsAction="always"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource"
