Before you Tag as a duplicate question: I've read:
Action buttons doesn't show up on Action Bar?
Action Bar not showing action view icons
and
Android: Icons don't appear in Action Bar
But the issue is not resolved. My action bar will only hold the menu items in the overflow. I cannot get the icons to appear on the action bar itself.
The code for my menu is:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="@+id/homeIcon"
android:title="@string/Home"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_home_black_24dp"
android:orderInCategory="1"
app:showAsAction="always" /></menu>
I have declared the support header files but it hasn't made a difference. I tried replacing the word 'app' in "app:showAsAction" with my app name as it appears in @strings but it will not accept it because the app name has white space.
it is called my App instead of myApp.
Is there that the reason why i can't get any icons in my actionBar, if yes is there a way to resolve it.. without recreating my app? i tried changing the name in @strings and that didn't resolve the issue, so it could just as easily be something else.
Thanks in advance community!
