Android Actionbar Always Showing Overflow Menu For Menu Items In Actionbar

Hi I am developing sample Android application in which I am trying to display menu items in actionbar. But my actionbar always showing overflow menu even if there is only single me

Solution 1:

Try this code and add extra xmlns attribute for your menu and try app:showAsAction instead of android:showAsAction

 <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >

        <item
            android:id="@+id/categories"
            android:icon="@drawable/navigation_collapse"
            android:title="Categories"
            app:showAsAction="always"/>

 </menu>
