But here is what I found. By changing some of the menu items from android:showAsAction= "ifRoom" to "always", I can get it to show four action buttons, plus the overflow button when there is no hardware menu key. You'd think "ifRoom" would work because there *is* room, but this is what works. Good enough for now. But since I can't assume 4.0=phone (it might be tablet), I'll probably need to be more sophisticated in choosing menu styles. Maybe all that screenwidth threshold stuff they were showing at AnDevCon.
