title: Can't display an icon in the actionbar
body: <p>I'm trying to show a map icon downloaded from the official android developers source.</p>
  
  <p>I did everything as it should, but the icon won't show.
  Here is my xml file named <code>main_activity_bar</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" &gt;
  
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/mapIcon"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_map"
          android:title="@string/mapIconTitle"
          android:showAsAction="always"
       /&gt;
  
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the main activity xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
      android:id="@+id/container"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      tools:context="com.gs.testApp.MainActivity"
      tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this is what I have in the java class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
      public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          MenuInflater actionMenue = getMenuInflater();
          actionMenue.inflate(R.menu.main_activity_bar, menu);
          return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything seems to be fine, but the icon wont show on the emulator. Here is a screenshot:</p>

  <p>The minimum version is android 3.0</p>
  
  <p>Why the icon is not showing? What Am I missing? I know that it is something really small, but I can't spot it.</p>
