Hi,
The case is that I have several activities in which I use actionbar
successfully, showing different actions on top (with icons), but when I
click on menu key (galaxy s4) then the menu options is not shown... I
don't
know really if this is the desired behavior but I would like to have both
available, as in my device I can't see long texts on action bar options...
I am creating the menu in the following way (I have also other menus in
other activities created with onPrepareOptionsMenu)
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
//super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
return true;
}
And the content of my_menu is this
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>
>>>
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_save"
android:title="@string/menu_save"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
What I have found is that if I add more items to the menu (4 or 5) then
it works...
Am I missing something? Is this the desired behavior? If it is the
case, how could I take advantage of showing both kind of menus?
Thanks!

instead of trying to somehow trick the system to duplicate the same menu
item, just add those yourself.
keep the ones you want to show as icons as you do them now (but better yet
use "always" to prevent from the duplicate to show in the overflow menu,),
then add copies of those to the menu with "never".

[android-developers] Re: Menu Not Showing
BTW, if I set some menu item property to android:showAsAction="never" then
it is shown in overflow menu (It is the expected behavior). What I don't
know if it is very standard or possible is to show all actions in overflow
menu and actionbar buttons independently of the number of items, etc

[android-developers] Re: Menu Not Showing
Yes, I have read but still have this doubt. Also read actionbar guide and I
didn't see any reference to this specific issue...
Please could you give me a response?
Thanks so much!
