i know, sounds dumb, bear me.

i utilize following

android:minsdkversion="8" android:targetsdkversion="17" android:theme.holo"

when run app on 2.2 emulator, menu button brings menu.

whhen run app on 4.2 emulator, should action bar not automatically activated? can see programme icon + title. have added menu items this:

<item android:id="@+id/itemshare" android:title="@string/titleshare" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_share" android:showasaction="ifroom"></item>

i have defined

oncreateoptionsmenu

all activies inherit from.

yet, see nil "action bar" icons when running app in 4.2 emulator. must missing obvious.

your emulator has decided there insufficient room show icons, in overflow. depending on emulator configuration, activate overflow pressing menu button or pressing ... affordance in action bar on right.

yes.
