Android - How to set more than 2 items in action bar on landscape mode

Question

I'm trying to set action bar for my app. I want that the action bar will contain 4 icons. in portrait mode it work fine! the items are at the bottom of the screen. I'm using the following code :

 android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" 

This code succesfully split the Action bar in portrait mode..

when the orientation is on landscape mode , only 2 icons display in the upper screen and the rest of the icons are in the menu icon button (the 3 little dots ) what should i do to make the other icons spread all over the action bar?

Answer 1

In your menu.xml place android:showAsAction="always" or "ifRoom" under each item
