How to add a second dropdown to the action bar in Android Honeycomb?

I played with Honeycomb last week and it was difficult for me to find something more than the drop-down list in the Action Bar. I used this tutorial and successfully added one drop-down list to it. But I do not know how to add another one. Please tell me if you know how to do this. Thanks.

PS is also a little small this is how I can change the position of elements in the action bar (this is not the topic)?

You had to do it yourself. Instead of setNavigationMode() use setCustomView() .

Generally, you cannot. You control the order (for example, the toolbar buttons in the order specified in the XML options menu). This is pretty much it.

I don't know what Honeycomb is, but I was able to add two drop-down lists to my action bar in JellyBean without using a custom view.

Res / menu / main_menu.xml

 <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@+id/menu_main_spinner" android:actionViewClass="android.widget.Spinner" android:showAsAction="always"/> <item android:id="@+id/menu_status_spinner" android:actionViewClass="android.widget.Spinner" android:showAsAction="always"/> </menu>

MyActivity.java

 @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate( R.menu.main_menu, menu ); MenuItem mainMenuSpinner = menu.findItem( R.id.menu_main_spinner); setupMainMenuSpinner( mainMenuSpinner ); MenuItem statusSpinner = menu.findItem( R.id.menu_status_spinner ); setupStatusSpinner( statusSpinner ); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } private void setupMainMenuSpinner(MenuItem item) { View view = item.getActionView(); if (view instanceof Spinner) { Spinner spinner = (Spinner) view; spinner.setAdapter(ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.main_menu_options, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item)); } } private void setupStatusSpinner(MenuItem item) { View view = item.getActionView(); if (view instanceof Spinner) { Spinner spinner = (Spinner) view; spinner.setAdapter(ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.status, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item)); } }
