How to show list of icon with text in android action menu like image

Question

I want to show a popup of option like the image on the click of action button( 3 ... icon).

I tried to do it by option menu but icon are not coming . Please suggest me how can I add icon as well.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context="ui.dealroomcontent.DealRoomContentActivity">

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_view_details"
    android:title="View room details"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_dealroom_details_normal"
    app:showAsAction="never" />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_add_file"
    android:title="@string/action_create_file"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_dealroom_createfolder_normal"
    app:showAsAction="never" />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_add_folder"
    android:title="@string/action_create_folder"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_dealroom_createfile_normal"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    app:showAsAction="never" />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_upload_from_camera"
    android:title="@string/action_upload_from_camera"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_dealroom_uploadcamera_normal"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    app:showAsAction="never" />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_upload_from_gallery"
    android:title="@string/action_upload_from_gallery"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_dealroom_uploadgallery_normal"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    app:showAsAction="never" />
<item
    android:id="@+id/action_upload_from_local"
    android:title="@string/action_upload_from_local"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_dealroom_upload_normal"
    app:showAsAction="never" />

Try adding `app:showAsAction="never|withText"` inside ``. Is it working? — Sash_KP, Jul 28 '15 at 09:07
