Android Question menu confusion

[mrossen]

Hi,

I am a bit confused about what I think is a simple thing

I use this code:

 Dim bd As BitmapDrawable
    Dim ph As Phone
    bd = ph.GetResourceDrawable(17301577)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3("Preferences", "Prefs", bd.Bitmap,True)

to add a menu item.

According to the help text the icon should we shown in the action bar, if there is Space for it, as I understand it. But it are shown in the bottom, not in the top bar as I expected.

When I turn the phone to landscape it Works like i will have it to.

The app uses the StdActionBar, if that have any difference.
