title: Android Activity Menu
body: <p>I wanted to create an option menu which shows up similar to Whatsapp even if the device has its own "hardware" option button. The solution I found online worked just fine until I wanted to add another action to the Bar.</p>
  
  <p>Menu:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"&gt;
   &lt;item
              android:title=""
              android:id="@+id/addViewedMovie"
              android:icon="@mipmap/ic_add_to_queue_black_24px"
  
              android:showAsAction="always"
  
              &gt;&lt;/item&gt;    
          &lt;item
              android:title=""
              android:id="@+id/menu_overflow"
              android:icon="@mipmap/ic_more_vert_white_48dp"
  
              app:showAsAction="always"&gt;
              &lt;menu&gt;
                  &lt;item
                      android:id="@+id/show_settings"
                      app:showAsAction="never"
                      android:title="@string/setttings"/&gt;
                  &lt;item
                      android:id="@+id/show_help"
                      app:showAsAction="never"
                      android:title="@string/help"/&gt;
                  &lt;item
                      android:id="@+id/show_about"
                      app:showAsAction="never"
                      android:title="@string/about"/&gt;
  
              &lt;/menu&gt;
  
          &lt;/item&gt;
  
      &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this in my MainActivity:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
      public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
          inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
          return true;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With this the app forces the addViewedMovie Action into an Overflow-Menu. Does anyone know how to prevent this?</p>
