Why icons dont show in toolbar?

Question

I'am creating simple app with toolbar as a menu. Unfortunately icons don't show and i ask you for help. Probably problem is in styles.xml. And yes I've checked lots of similar questions and still in trouble. Maybe toolbar conflicts with ActionBar. Not sure. Here is my code: menu xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
  <item
       android:id="@+id/menu_create"
       android:icon="@drawable/baseline_add_24"
       android:showAsAction="always"
       android:title="Создать" 
       android:orderInCategory="1"/>
  <item
       android:id="@+id/menu_edit"
       android:icon="@drawable/baseline_create_24"
       android:showAsAction="always"
       android:title="Редактировать" 
       android:orderInCategory="2"/>
  <item
       android:id="@+id/menu_delete"
       android:showAsAction="always"
       android:icon="@drawable/baseline_delete_sweep_24"
       android:title="Удалить" 
       android:orderInCategory="3"/>
  <item android:id="@+id/menu_save"
       android:showAsAction="ifRoom"

       android:title="Сохранить"
       android:orderInCategory="4"/>
  <item android:id="@+id/menu_cancel"
      android:showAsAction="ifRoom"

      android:title="Отмена"
      android:orderInCategory="5"/>
</menu>

MainActivity.cs It isn't full because all actions on toolbar are doing in OnCreate.

Answer 1

Looks like it's because you used the wrong schema, try replace all

android:showAsAction=...

with

app:showAsAction=...

it's working on my side, hope it helps.

Answer 2

You missed the onCreateOptionsMenu method:

@Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.your_menu_xml, menu);
    return true;
}

Now it should work.
