I have implemented ActionBarSherlock in my project, which is supposed to run on android 2.2 and above. What i need is the functionality shown in red contour in below image. I had a hard time finding what that functionality is called. can some one please point me at the right direction ?

another reason for this question as mentioned is that i didn't know that it is called "overflow menu" – Rushi Apr 27 '13 at 09:51

Don't worry fella. I am merely marking it as a duplicate without downvoting you. It is not a topic largely discussed here. If it were a common enough topic, then I would have. ;-) – Siddharth Lele Apr 27 '13 at 09:52

If you **absolutely must** have that feature, follow the two answers and you will have it working. Do delete or not is entirely up to you. But deleting too many might get you a [Question Ban](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/86997/196875). SO choose wisely. :-) – Siddharth Lele Apr 27 '13 at 09:56

In you XML for your menu items, add this to every menu-item:
android:showAsAction="never"

1Correct. But please note that on Android 2.x the overflow menu is not displayed. – rciovati Apr 27 '13 at 09:46

1To add to what @rciovati said, this will only work on devices which do not have a dedicated menu button. – Siddharth Lele Apr 27 '13 at 09:57

Ah yes I see - I just saw the `ActionMode` menu in the samples of the `ActionBarSherlock` and there it worked nicely ;-) – Darwind Apr 27 '13 at 10:05
