I need implement a sort action on my application, maintaining the selected item checked. But when I use a group for it my main MenuItem begins to ignore the attribute showAsAction="always" .
Follows the layout used. I'm using the API 19 and AppCompat in version 21.0.2:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<item
android:icon="@drawable/ic_content_sort"
android:title="@string/menu_sort"
app:showAsAction="always">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single" >
<item
android:id="@+id/action_sort_by_date"
android:title="@string/menu_sort_by_date" />
<item
android:id="@+id/action_sort_by_description"
android:title="@string/menu_sort_by_description" />
</group>
</item>
</menu>
I found a solution on this related, but not equal, question: Having two single-selection groups in ActionBar doesn't work, but attaching a pop up menu instead doesn't work either .
With that, I had only to include the Group tag within a new tag Menu:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<item
android:icon="@drawable/ic_content_sort"
android:title="@string/menu_sort"
app:showAsAction="always">
<menu> <!-- SOLUTION -->
<group android:checkableBehavior="single" >
<item
android:id="@+id/action_sort_by_date"
android:title="@string/menu_sort_by_date" />
<item
android:id="@+id/action_sort_by_description"
android:title="@string/menu_sort_by_description" />
</group>
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
