always withText  will work if there is sufficient room  otherwise it will only place icon  You can test it on your phone with rotation    lt item android id   id menu item  android title  text  android icon   drawable drawable resource name  android showAsAction  always withText    gt

Some of you guys have great answers  but I found some additional thing  If you want create a MenuItem with some SubMenu programmatically        Override     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu Menu menu             SubMenu subMenu   menu addSubMenu 0  Menu NONE  0   Menu title            subMenu getItem   setIcon R drawable ic action child           subMenu getItem   setShowAsAction MenuItem SHOW AS ACTION ALWAYS            subMenu add 0  Menu NONE  0   Subitem 1            subMenu add 0  Menu NONE  1   Subitem 2            subMenu add 0  Menu NONE  2   Subitem 3             return true

Try adding a TextView to the menubar first and using setCompoundDrawables   to place the image on whichever side you want  Bond click activity to the textview in the end   MenuItem item   menu add Menu NONE  R id menu item save  10  R string save   item setShowAsAction MenuItem SHOW AS ACTION ALWAYS MenuItem SHOW AS ACTION WITH TEXT   TextView textBtn   getTextButton btn title  btn image   item setActionView textBtn   textBtn setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener          Override     public void onClick View v                  your selector here               You can literally customize everything here   public TextView getTextButton  String btn title  Drawable btn image        TextView textBtn   new TextView this       textBtn setText btn title       textBtn setTextColor Color WHITE       textBtn setTextSize 18       textBtn setTypeface Typeface create  sans-serif-light   Typeface BOLD        textBtn setGravity Gravity CENTER VERTICAL   Gravity CENTER HORIZONTAL       Drawable img   btn image      img setBounds 0  0  30  30       textBtn setCompoundDrawables null  null  img  null           left top right bottom  In this case icon is right to the text      return textBtn

You can create actions with text in 2 ways   1- From XML    lt item android id   id resource name        android title  text        android icon   drawable drawable resource name        android showAsAction  withText    gt    When inflating the menu  you should call getSupportMenuInflater   since you are using ActionBarSherlock   2- Programmatically    Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu Menu menu        MenuItem item   menu add Menu NONE  ID  POSITION  TEXT       item setIcon R drawable drawable resource name       item setShowAsAction MenuItem SHOW AS ACTION WITH TEXT        return true      Make sure you import com actionbarsherlock view Menu and com actionbarsherlock view MenuItem

The solution I find is to use custom action Layout  Here is XML for menu    lt menu xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  xmlns Eventapp  http   schemas android com apk res-auto  gt   lt  -- This is a comment  -- gt       lt item         android id    id action create          android actionLayout   layout action view details layout          android orderInCategory  50          android showAsAction    always   gt   lt  menu gt    The Layout is   lt LinearLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android orientation  horizontal      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent  gt    lt TextView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android paddingLeft  5dp      android gravity  center      android text   string create   gt    lt ImageView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android paddingLeft  5dp      android paddingRight  5dp      android gravity  center      android src   drawable ic action v   gt    lt  LinearLayout gt    this will show the icon and the text together   To get the clickitem the the fragment or activity   public void onCreateOptionsMenu Menu menu  MenuInflater inflater          super onCreateOptionsMenu menu  inflater       inflater inflate R menu menu details fragment  menu       View view   menu findItem R id action create  getActionView        view setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener              Override         public void onClick View v                Toast makeText getActivity     Clicked   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show

What worked for me was using  always withText   If you have many menus  consider using  ifRoom  instead of  always     lt item android id   id resource name  android title  text  android icon   drawable drawable resource name  android showAsAction  always withText    gt
