I’m setting up an action bar with Sherlock with 3 items/icons.
Running on a ICS emulator, I only can see 2 icons. And moreover: NO overflow menu (those 3 dots-icon)!
I only get the 3rd icon if I press the menu button of the phone.
Do I have to force the overflow icon, and if so how can I do so?
All you need to do is have your theme inherit from one of the
.ForceOverflowthemes. Note this will only work for Android 2.0 and 3.0. In 4.0 the nativeActionBarcomponent is used instead, and the overflow item is only displayed if the device does not have a menu key.
