没有出现ActionBar溢出

Question

I've followed along with the tutorial on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html and they mention the Action Overflow but they do not mention how to use it within your project.

I've seen some answers right here on SO but they say to get menu items to show up in the overflow menu (the menu that gets opened with you tap on the 3 horizontal tiny squares on the top right of your apps window) you need to set android:showAsAction, I have tried setting showAsAction with all possible values like always, ifRoom, never and um, collapseActionView but the overflow squares menu never shows and instead the popup menu shows on the bottom of the screen only when I press the menu button.

How do I get my icons in the Action Overflow menu (the menu you press on the actionbar with the squares)?

Answer 1

If your device has a dedicated menu button which you have indicated then the overflow menu will not shown. the menu button on your phone is the overflow menu
