Action Bar Sherlock - Hide Actions on Collapse - android

I have three actions with the property SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS since I want to have the three of them always showing. However one of them has a collapse action view, and I wan't to hide the other two to have the full action bar for my layout when I click the action. Is there any way to do this?
This only seems to work if I use SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM but this way I only get two items on the action bar instead of three.

WebViewAdd Custom Menu Item in Contextual Action Bar with overriding existing

I need to add some custom menu items in contextual action bar for WebView. My current research shows that only one of the following two things can be done.
Override action mode to supply custom action items. In this case default items are gone.
Use system provided action mode. In this way, I can't add my menu items.
May this will solve your problem.

Is it possible to customize items in split action bar?

I'm working with split action bar for my project, i would like to know is it possible to customize the items position in split action bar (i.e) i want some of the menu items in top of the action bar and some of them bottom of the action bar dynamically as my wish is it possible ?
Thanks in advance,
It is not possible to use normal actions on the top and split ActionBar at the same time. There is a trick you can use that is described below:
How to display both normal and split ActionBar?
But it is an old question and ActionBar is deprecated. You can now use multiple Toolbar objects instead of ActionBar. That way you can keep one of them at the bottom and add whatever actions you want to it.

Two menus in android

I want to have two menus in my android app. First one is search icon in ActionBar (at the top) and second is a TextView and pop up item at the bottom. How to achieve it? I tried android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" but it moves all the menu items to bottom. Please help!
Android has not made this possible on purpose, the action bar at the bottom (called the split action bar) only has the purpose of giving extra room for actions if it is necessary (hence the uiOptions name "splitActionBarWhenNarrow").
You could still get the desired result by manually creating a split action bar by adding a LinearLayout at the bottom of your View, and using a PopupMenu for the menu.

Split Action Bar only in Action Mode (CAB)

It is possible to have a split Action Bar only in Action Mode?
My application have only the top action bar, but it's Contextual Action Bar needs to be splitted in two (top/bottom).
I found this:
The contextual action bar is not necessarily associated with the action bar. They operate independently, even though the contextual action bar visually overtakes the action bar position.
on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#CAB. So i think it's possible, but how?
I'm pretty confident it's not possible - and even if it is - i would cringe to see the hack.
The cab is a crafty beast that offers a lot of convenience out of the box but doesn't like to be tampered with.
The platform takes care of you fantastically by placing a CAB at the bottom if required or collapsing items , but as far as UI designs go, you should avoid relying on the bottom bar.
