Question

I was wondering if it is possible to put items directly in the overflow menu on the actionbar. I am using ActionbarSherlock for my app (if this is relevant). I have several menu items, for instance: Add, Delete, Sort, About app, etc. These are all items for my actionbar menu. I would like to leave only “Add” outside, and put the rest in the overflow menu. Is there any way to do that?

Yes, set the attribute showAsAction to "never":

<item android:id="@+id/item"
      android:title="@string/item"
      android:showAsAction="never"/>
