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);
}
