Is it possible to get the number of menu items displayed in the action bar?

I'm developing an app that uses ActionBarSherlock.

As you know, using android:showAsAction attribute, you can display an action menu on action bar. And, the number of menu items displayed on action bar differs according to user's environment(resolution, portrait/landscape and so on).

So, is it possible to get it by code?

Solution

  • No, you can't.

    It varies based on a few factors and it would be safe if you just assume that it varies and can be anywhere from two to five (including a potential overflow menu item).
