xml - Android menu item with both icon and text together when showAsAction is never

Question

Hi, how can I make my menu items have icons as well when showAsAction is never ?

Answer 1

Use android:actionLayout in menu item tag to specify custom lyout (icon with text). Menu item will look like:

<item
    android:id="@+id/edit_menu"
    android:actionLayout="@layout/custom_edit_row"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="@string/edit"
    app:showAsAction="always"></item>

Edit

custom_edit_row.xml

will be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
style="@android:style/Widget.ActionButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageViewEdit"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/edit_ic" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tvEdit"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Edit" />
