copied!<p>The action overflow menu is only available when there is no hard menu button available on the device. I found this stated in the Framework Topics under User Interface > Action Bar, check out the 3rd bullet <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>There is an action bar library written by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/132047/jake-wharton">Jake Wharton</a> called ActionBarSherlock. Perhaps this is able to supply you with an action overflow menu style even when on older devices (which include a hard menu button), however I have not looked into this.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> ActionBarSherlock 4.0 (currently a release candidate) has functionality built in to force action overflow. If you want to extend the ActionBarCompat example yourself, you could take a look on github to get an idea how Jake implemented it. I would suggest just looking into using his library all together, as it is very well done.</p> <p>If you choose to use Jake's library, look into setting up the Activity theme as @style/Theme.Sherlock.ForceOverflow to force the overflow menu on older devices.</p> <p><strong>Edit2:</strong> Using <code>ForceOverflow</code> theme causes issues (<a href="https://github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock/issues/568" rel="nofollow noreferrer">example #1</a>) on devices with hardware menu button. Thus, Jake Wharton is going to remove <code>ForceOverflow</code> in the future versions.</p>
