Customize the Action Items and Application Icon

Description

To display the text for the action item together with the icon, you could use the "|" operator together with the MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT constant:


MenuItem mnu1 = menu.add(0, 0, 0, "Item 1");
{/*from w  ww .j a  v  a2  s. c o m*/
    mnu1.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
    mnu1.setShowAsAction(
        MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM |
        MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
}
