将菜单按钮添加到ActionBar选项卡

Question

I'm trying to add a menu button to the right side of the a ActionBar tab area

Of course what I really need is a clickable Image/button that is always aligned to the right but I'm not sure how can I do it without major hacking to ActionBar or writing one my self. Is there a standard way to do it with ActionBar?

Any help will be appreciated.

UPDATE For those who suggested to use the standard way of adding a menu, this is what happens

Thanks Yoni

You can force the OS to put menu button in action bar but that isn't a good idea . Let the OS decide when to put the menu button on ActionBar.

Anyway I do it like this:

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