Android Question Activity.AddmenuItem2 - How does it work?

[Sabotto]

If i write:

    Activity.AddMenuItem2("Menu 1","Menu", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "imgMenu1.png"))
    Activity.AddMenuItem2("Menu 2","Menu", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "imgMenu2.png"))
    Activity.AddMenuItem2("Menu 3","Menu", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "imgMenu3.png"))

'the menu appears with only the 3 texts, without icons

and ifi write

    Activity.AddMenuItem3("Menu 11","Menu", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "imgMenu1.png"),True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3("Menu 22","Menu", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "imgMenu2.png"),True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3("Menu 33","Menu", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "imgMenu3.png"),True)

'imgMenu1 appears next to the 3 dots. By clicking on the 3 dots, only the two texts "Menu 22" and "Menu 33" appear

In this recent post , a user had the same problem and Erel tells him to use AddMenuItem3.
But then what is AddMenuitem2 for? And shouldn't icons come out alongside texts?

AddMenuItem3 was added when the action bar was introduced. No reason to use AddMenuItem or AddMenuItem2.

And shouldn't icons come out alongside texts?

No. This is how Android menus work.
