title: Android Toolbar Popup menu not showing icons
body: <p>I am trying to show a drop down menu for my toolbar which includes BOTH text and icons:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"&gt;
  
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/menu_add"
          android:title="@string/menu.add"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_add_black_24dp"
          app:showAsAction="always" /&gt;
  
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/menu_edit"
          android:title="@string/menu.edit"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_create_black_24dp"
          app:showAsAction="never" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The menu_add does show with the icon on the toolbar itself but the menu_edit only shows the  text without the icon. </p>
  
  <p>This answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/19750717/197127">https://stackoverflow.com/a/19750717/197127</a> says that Google has removed it by design but does not refer to how you may override it.</p>
  
  <h2>Edit</h2>
  
  <p>I also need the device "menu" button to show the same menu.</p>
