Hi!
I'm trying to override the onPrepareOptionsMenu method to hide overflow icon in toolbar.
I tried to set a null drawable, and it works, but when i add some items, icons of other menu item will change position.

Tried this code, but i get an error

Error

Public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu (menu menu) {
      ^

Code
B4X:
#if java
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
@Override
Public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu (menu menu) {
    Return false;
}
#End If

I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to do. The three dots icon will not appear if there are no menu items.
I want menu items, but I don't want 3 dot. I have 2 menu item with icons, and when press one of these I want to see an overflow menu (same that is called from 3 dots) but without seeing the 3 dot.
