Android custom option menu item

everyone! I have question for Android guys. Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
So my problem:
I have application with ActionBarCompat and in this action bar I have a lot of different hiden menu items, which appear only if user click on menu button at action bar. Also I have couple menu items at action bar, which always visible.
I need some customization for one of visible menu item. When user click on this menu item (let's say it would be "Add new" menu item), I need to show different menu in this case. And if user click on standart menu item, it should act like usually.
So I really confused. And I have no idea how I can do it. Maybe someone had the same problem or similar. Thank you!
Screenshot for better understanding:

Action overflow like button at the bottom in Nexus 4

I have designed this simple login screen.
In the LoginActivity, I have not declared onCreateOptionsMenu or onPrepareOptionsMenu.
But still I am getting overflow like button at the screen bottom right as shown in the below picture. When I click on it, it does not do anything.
If it were an Action item it would be in the Action Bar area not along with the device's native soft buttons.
Does anybody know how can it be resolved?

You'll need to set android:targetSdkVersion="14" or higher within your AndroidManifest.xml to get rid of the "menu button of shame".

How to move menu items from right to left using calabash-android

There are more than 10 menus in my application. If I open this application in android mobile, only 5 menus appear; I than have to swipe from right to left for the remaining menus to appear. Here I have used swipe keyword. But it hasn't worked. Please see my below code:
Scenario Outline: Go to file manager home page
Then I wait for progress
Then I swipe right
Then I select the "Create" tab
Please let me know if anyone knows the solution to this problem. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, you have some menu items that are not visible on the action bar and you want to click those menu items?

google map overlays custom action bar menu

When I open the map activity this screen is shown:
http://tinypic.com/r/29frcn/5
After clicking on the action bar, this is the menu that should show:
http://tinypic.com/r/tziic/5
But instead of that, just the first option of the menu is shown. I can not attach screenshot because it gives the second image too (I know it's so weird).
So, the problem is that the menu is not displayed, but the options are there. In front of the screen there is the action bar, the first option, and the rest is the map. But if I clicked in the middle of the map, it detects it over the option and it goes to the correct page.
What is the problem of not showing the options but working "properly"?

Try keeping the width of the menu to be fixed instead of wrap content and if that works then probably u are using some scroll view or inherited class of its, so possibly customise it or else keeping width to be fixed should work.

SlidingMenu shows blsck when used with Map api v2

I have developed an application. In it, I have used a fragment for showing Map. The layout only has a top title bar and a fragment. In the sliding menu layout I have title bar and some buttons. On click of a button in main layout I show the menu.
The problem is that the menu is not showing up. Instead of menu there is only black color, But I am getting the title bar of menu. So i think the problem is the due to the map because the height of the black zone is same as that of the map
I am using this for showing sliding menu.
Please help me out.
Thanks
