"No resource identifier found for attribute 'showAsAction' in package 'android'"

I am attempting to update my android application to look better for tablets running Honeycomb. As such, I am targeting version 11 of the SDK (my minSdkVersion = 4). This adds the Honeycomb theme to my app, making it look better. However, I have no way to access my menu options. So, I am attempting to add my menu items as an action bar item with the following in the file in my /res/menu/ folder:

android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"

However, I get the following error:

No resource identifier found for attribute 'showAsAction' in package 'android'

I tried altering my minSdkVersion number to 11 to see if it would work, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you are building with Eclipse, make sure your project's build target is set to Honeycomb too.

remove android:showAsAction="never" from res/menu folder from every xml file.

all above fix may not work in android studio .if you are using ANDROID STUDIO...... use this fix

add

xmlns:compat="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

in menu tag instead of

xmlns:compat="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

in menu tag.
