title: Android menu item showAsAction="always" doesn't work
body: <p>I have tried setting the:</p>
  
  <pre><code>android:showAsAction=".."
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to every one of these:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ifRoom, never, withText, always, collapseActionView
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I always got the same result, which is not having any buttons on the action bar, so I have to press the 'menu' button.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a picture of the menu now :</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;item android:id="@+id/smth1"
      android:title="@string/smth1"
      android:showAsAction="always"
      android:orderInCategory="1" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have even tried adding this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>into application manifest file, but with no positive result (nothing changed).</p>
  
  <p>I have tried running it on various kind of APIs (14, 16, 17, 19), but with the same result.</p>
  
  <p>If my question seems to be unclear, here is a picture of a menu, which I would like to have: </p>
