I'm using the new v7 appcompat library available starting from Android 4.3 (API level 18).
Regardless of what is specified in showAsAction for a menu item, it's not shown - it always creates the overflow menu icon, and puts even a single menu item under the menu.
Trying to add menu to an activity like this:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_sizes, menu);
return true;
}
And here's my menu xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/menu_add_size"
android:title="@string/menu_add_item"
android:orderInCategory="10"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_add" />
</menu>
Is it a bug of the new support library v7, or just something wrong with the code? I've been using the similar code with ActionBarSherlock many times before.
