copied!<p>If you want to display certain items inside overflow menu , use <code>android:showAsAction="ifRoom"</code> to those particular menu items in your menu.xml.</p> <p>Note that if the target device is having a dedicated/hard menu button you will not be able to see the overflow button inside action bar as per the docs. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10851462/forcing-overflow-menu-button-on-android">This</a> will also help you..</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>This will provide you with an overflow menu if device doesn't have hard button . If you want to show the overflow menu even if you have the hard button try following :</p> <pre><code>try { ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(this); Field menuKeyField = ViewConfiguration.class.getDeclaredField("sHasPermanentMenuKey"); if(menuKeyField != null) { menuKeyField.setAccessible(true); menuKeyField.setBoolean(config, false); } } catch (Exception ex) { // Ignore } </code></pre> <p>Its a little hack which will force the device to ignore the hard menu button.</p> <p>Check out the following code. This implementation will show Item 4 only in the action bar and others inside the overflow menu. This happens because its the only one which has been provided with Show_As_Always.</p> <pre><code>@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { menu.add(0, 2, 0, "Item 1").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW); menu.add(0, 2, 0, "Item 2").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT); menu.add(0, 2, 0, "Item 3").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT); menu.add(0, 2, 0, "Item 4").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS); menu.add(0, 2, 0, "Item 5").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM); return true; } </code></pre>
