I use Sherlock action bar in my application. I used "ifRoom|withText" feature in my menu. If I test my code in portrait mode, I can see only icon and if I rotate orientation to landscape, still I see only icon. On the other hand, if I run with landscape, I can see text and icon on portrait and landscape. This means that When the screen is rotated, action bar is not refreshed. How can I fix? In menu, I have android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" Also I used this line in my manifest file to fixed android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize" but it didn't work. And I run my code android 2.3 Also I used fragment in my activity, FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager(); ft = fm.beginTransaction(); mFragment1 = fm.findFragmentByTag("f1"); if (mFragment1 == null) { mFragment1 = new MenuFragment(); ft.add(mFragment1, "f1"); } ft.commit();
