Android create custom overflow menu item

Question

I want to create a custom overflow menu item in my ActionBar in addition at the Setting item like described in the image below:

Answer 1

You most probably have to remove the setting item in the menu i.e. @+id/action_settings.

If you still want it to be there, just remove it's "showAsActionAttribute" or exchange it to

android:showAsAction="always"

For Item1 and Item2: Add their showAsAction attributes as android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

when click item from actionbar

PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, v);
popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(
                            R.mymenu xml , popup.getMenu());



mymenu.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_agenda"  
    android:title="Item1"
     android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_add"  
    android:title="Item2"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item android:id="@+id/pick_action_provider"
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_sort_by_size" 
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:title="Overflow" >
     <menu>  
        <item android:id="@+id/action_sort_size"  
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
              android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_camera"  
              android:title="Item3" />  
        <item android:id="@+id/action_sort_alpha" 
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"      
              android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_sort_alphabetically"  
              android:title="Item4" />  
    </menu>
