I am developing sample Android application in which I am trying to display menu items in the actionbar but it is always showing overflow menu in action bar tab and I want to display overflow menu below action bar. Please help me to solve these problem as I am using appcompt theme.

Here is my menu.xml

 <menu > 
  <item android:id="@+id/left_menu" 
        android:icon="@drawable/menu_icon" 
        app:showAsAction="always" 
        android:title="@string/left_menu"/> 

 <item android:id="@+id/profile" 
       android:icon="@drawable/user_icon" 
       app:showAsAction="always" 
       android:title="@string/profile"> 

<menu > 
  <item android:id="@+id/track_order" 
        android:icon="@drawable/user_icon"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom" 
        android:title="@string/track_order"/> 


  <item android:id="@+id/rateApp" 
        android:icon="@drawable/user_icon" 
        app:showAsAction="never" android:title="@string/rate_app"/> 
</menu> 
</item> </menu>

Could you show a screenshot , and edit your question to put the code _in_ your question ? I believe there is a library called "Floating Action Button" to do this. – Jonas Czech Apr 13 '15 at 12:09
