How to display both icon and title of action inside ActionBar?

Question

I need to display both icon and title of action inside ActionBar.

I\'ve tried \"withText\" option, but it has no

Answer 1

You can create actions with text in 2 ways:

1- From XML:

When inflating the menu, you should call getSupportMenuInflater() since you are using ActionBarSherlock.

2- Programmatically:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuItem item = menu.add(Menu.NONE, ID, POSITION, TEXT);
    item.setIcon(R.drawable.drawable_resource_name);
    item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);

    return true;
}

Make sure you import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu and com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem.
