AddMenuItem3 (Title AsString, EventName AsString, BitmapAs android.graphics.Bitmap, AddToActionBar AsBoolean)
Similar to AddMenuItem2. If AddToActionBar is true then the item will be displayed in the action bar (on Android 3.0+ devices) if there is enough room.
If there is not enough room then the item will be displayed together with the other menu items.

HI DonMandred
as you can see from the picture, there is space for other icons.
In fact, I see that puts the sixth picture in the menu.
thank you for reply and for other help.

There is no limit to the number of items. On Android 2.x (before the action bar) the first five menu items show as icons when you open the menu and the other show under the More icon.

On Android 3+ the menu items appear in the bar. The other menus should appear when you press on the menu button (or three dots button). The OS determines whether there is enough room. Make sure not to load any large image.

hello Erel,
as you can see from the picture, there is space and the images are small, nevertheless the system adds an icon in the menu bar at the bottom.
is there a way to force the operation and to add other icons in the top bar?

any other ideas or components that will allow you to enter more than 5 icons?
thanks

There is no simple way to force it to show more icons. You can use StdActionBar to add custom views to the bar: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/th...er-actionbar-library.36786/page-3#post-226174

You can use such a solution instead of the menu items.
