如何在选项菜单中添加图标？

Question

I try to add icon into the option menu in my app. I add icon attribute to the items But icons don't show.

    <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
    <item
        android:id="@+id/exit"
        android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_go"
        android:title="@string/exit"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/about_us"
        android:title="@string/about_us"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/help"
        android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_go"
        android:title="@string/help"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/setting"
        android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_go"
        android:title="@string/setting"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/search_collection"
        android:icon="@drawable/search"
        android:title="@string/search"
        app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
        app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>

I want my menu like this image.

Answer 1

Use android:showAsAction="always|withText" in all your Items

   <item
        android:id="@+id/help"
        android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_go"
        android:showAsAction="always|withText"
        android:title="@string/help"/>

Answer 2

Use app:showAsAction="withText|always" in all your Items

  <item
    android:id="@+id/action_settings"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="Settings"
    app:showAsAction="withText|always"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

I think in your application no sufficient place available for showing icon in the action bar..Rotate the emulator to landscape mode and see it is working or not ?

Answer 3

menu/menu_main.xml

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main,menu);
    return true;
}

in Your MainActivity

@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main,menu); return true; }

result
