Hi,

The case is that I have several activities in which I use actionbar successfully, showing different actions on top (with icons), but when I click on menu key (galaxy s4) then the menu options is not shown... I don't know really if this is the desired behavior but I would like to have both available, as in my device I can't see long texts on action bar options...

I am creating the menu in the following way (I have also other menus in other activities created with onPrepareOptionsMenu)

@Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) 

{

    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();

    inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);

    //super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

    return true;

}

And the content of my_menu is this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:id="@+id/menu_item_save_alert_rules"

  android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_save"

  android:title="@string/menu_save" 

  android:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>

</menu>

What I have found is that if I add more items to the menu (4 or 5) then it works... 

Am I missing something? Is this the desired behavior? If it is the case, how could I take advantage of showing both kind of menus?

Thanks!
