Constants

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS

Always show this item as a button in an Action Bar. Use sparingly! If too many items are set to always show in the Action Bar it can crowd the Action Bar and degrade the user experience on devices with smaller screens. A good rule of thumb is to have no more than 2 items set to always show at a time.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW

This item's action view collapses to a normal menu item. When expanded, the action view temporarily takes over a larger segment of its container.

Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM

Show this item as a button in an Action Bar if the system decides there is room for it.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_NEVER

Never show this item as a button in an Action Bar.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT

When this item is in the action bar, always show it with a text label even if it also has an icon specified.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)
