I am attempting to update my android application to look better for tablets running Honeycomb. As such, I am targeting version 11 of the SDK (my minSdkVersion = 4). This adds the Honeycomb theme to my app, making it look better. However, I have no way to access my menu options. So, I am attempting to add my menu items as an action bar item with the following in the file in my /res/menu/ folder:
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
However, I get the following error:
No resource identifier found for attribute 'showAsAction' in package 'android'
I tried altering my minSdkVersion number to 11 to see if it would work, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!
If you are building with Eclipse, make sure your project's build target is set to Honeycomb too.
remove android:showAsAction="never"
from res/menu
folder from every xml file.
all above fix may not work in android studio .if you are using ANDROID STUDIO...... use this fix
add
xmlns:compat="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
in menu tag instead of
xmlns:compat="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
in menu tag.
Add "android-support-v7-appcompat.jar" to Android Private Libraries
Add compat
library compilation to the build.gradle file:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+'
The problem is related to AppCompat library. With it, you have
xmlns:appname="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
and possibly:
appname:showAsAction="never"
in menu.xml file.
Without the lib, you can only have:
android:showAsAction="never"
and my app works with menu both on Android 4.3 and 2.3.3.
Check your compileSdkVersion on app build.gradle. Set it to 21:
compileSdkVersion 21
go to gradle and then to app.buildgradle then set compileSDKVersion to 21 and then if necessary the android studio will download some files
