How to remove the actions in a Sonata admin class?

Question

I am working with a Symfony 2.7 app that uses the Sonata admin bundle.

In an admin class I've built, the following code is present inside the configureListFields method:

        ->add('_action', 'actions', [
            'actions' => [
                'show' => ['sort'=>''],
                'edit' => ['sort'=>''],
                'delete' => ['sort'=>''],
            ]
        ])

But I don't want all those actions to be present. So I make it look like this instead:

        ->add('_action', 'actions', [
            'actions' => [
                'edit' => ['sort'=>''],
            ]
        ])

... and I find that, surprisingly, nothing changes in the list view. All three actions are still present. I have also tried removing the "actions" key entirely. Neither approach seems to work.

What am I doing wrong here? How do I remove actions that I don't want?

Add a function configureRoutes in your admin class

protected function configureRoutes(RouteCollection $collection)
{
    $collection->remove('edit')
    // or if you want to remove everything except some routes
    $collection->clearExcept(array('list', 'show'));
}
