Menu option in android
<p>After referring a lot of tutorials I came to know that instead of <code>Menu</code> they have <code>ActionBar</code> for <code>&gt; API 10</code>. But i am using <code>API 7</code> sdk for my testing, I have used <code>Menus</code> to show text with <code>drawable images</code>. But only the text is coming and the drawable icon image is not showing in the menu option. Please help me to solve this.</p>

<p>My <code>XML</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;!--
             Single menu item
             Set id, icon and Title for each menu item
    --&gt;
    &lt;item
        android:id="@+id/savedstory"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:minHeight="20dp"
        android:title="Saved Stories"/&gt;
    &lt;item
        android:id="@+id/setting"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:minHeight="20dp"
        android:title="Settings"/&gt;
    &lt;item
        android:id="@+id/Bookmark"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:minHeight="20dp"
        android:title="Bookmark This"/&gt;
    &lt;item
        android:id="@+id/share"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:minHeight="20dp"
        android:title="Share This"/&gt;
    &lt;item
        android:id="@+id/save"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:minHeight="20dp"
        android:title="Save This"/&gt;
    &lt;item
        android:id="@+id/small"
        android:icon="@drawable/font3"
        android:minHeight="20dp"&gt;
This icon is not showing.
            /&gt;
        &lt;item
            android:id="@+id/medium"
            android:background="#ffffff"
            android:minHeight="20dp"
            android:title="Medium font"/&gt;
        &lt;item
            android:id="@+id/big"
            android:background="#000000"
            android:minHeight="20dp"
            android:title="Big font"/&gt;
    &lt;/item&gt;

&lt;/menu&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>My inflating code:</p>

<pre><code>public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
  menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.newsdescriptionmenu, menu);
  return true;
}
</code></pre>
