            // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
  @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
           MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
           inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_bottom, menu);
           return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
        }

Answer 1

As far as I know (tested!) splitActionBar works only on phones, because the screen size is much smaller than tablets and it takes space at the bottom for extra space for your action items. On tablets, the screen size is much bigger and there is enough space for most of the action items, that's why your menu is placed on top.

Answer 2

Have you tried using

setHasOptionsMenu(true);

in your fragments?
