How do I show Overflow Menu Items to Action Bar in Android

by

Just to say that If your device has a menu-button, the overflow-icon won’t show, on the newer phones the overflow button will show. I would not reccomend ASMUIRTI’s answer since it is an awful hack that breaks consistency with the rest of the apps on the platform.

you must use 

android:showAsAction="never"

and let the android device decide if the overflow menu is needed for that device.
