It is really not a big fat lie but a small oversight. The showAsAction attribute must be defined using a different namespace “http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto” You should therefore in your top menu tag define a namespace as follows xmlns:app=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto” and then use that to define your showAsAction attribute like so app:showAsAction=”ifRoom” That should fix it
I am not entirely sure if this is what you mean nor have tried it but. mToolbar.getMenu().clear(); should clear the menu. I have still been using onCreateOptionsMenu for all my menu creation however
I added setHasOptionsMenu(true) in onCreateView and it works fine @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { setHasOptionsMenu(true); return inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_example_fragment, container, false); }

Try something like this : <style name=”ThemeName” parent=”@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light”> <item name=”actionMenuTextColor”>@color/white</item> <item name=”android:actionMenuTextColor”>@color/white</item> </style>
onCreateOptionsMenu() is called once. onPrepareOptionsMenu() is called every time the menu opens. From the onCreateOptionsMenu() documentation: This is only called once, the first time the options menu is displayed. To update the menu every time it is displayed, see onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu).
This is currently not possible. See the response directly from Android developers Reto Meier and Roman Nurik during the Android Developer Office Hours: http://youtu.be/pBmRCBP56-Q?t=55m50s
