If you omit a title or specify that the action item should be displayed with text then long-pressing will not toast. Otherwise the toast adds clarification of what each action item represents.

how do you omit the title? `.setTitle(null)` or `.setTitle("")` doesn't work.. how do I "specify that the action item should be displayed with text then long-pressing"? – noloman Jul 09 '12 at 13:35

This is not working for me too... I have not specified a title in the menu XML file but I still see a (empty) toast when long-pressing an item. – rfgamaral Aug 22 '12 at 23:38

i guess the answer is accepted for that each item will toast. @Jake is there a way we can omit the title? – Jayshil Dave Feb 05 '13 at 09:48

This does not work anymore. On KitKat I still get a toast but empty. – Pepijn Sep 16 '14 at 08:33

Using this answer to get the action bar view: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21125631/555914 I used this to disable the toast:

View actionBar = AppUtils.getActionBarView(getActivity());
        if(actionBar!=null) {
            View item = actionBar.findViewById(id);
            if(item!=null) {
                item.setOnLongClickListener(null);
            }
        }

Although I do not recommend disabling this functionality but sometimes designers want something for esthetic reasons...
