I have several ActionBar items that each display a popup menu.  When these 
items are visible in the ActionBar there is no problem.  The user taps on 
the item in the ActionBar and immediately the appropriate popup menu 
appears.  But sometimes, on some devices, one or more of my ActionBar items 
may be in the overflow.  When that happens, the user taps the overflow 
button and an overflow menu is presented from which the user can choose 
which popup menu he would like to see.  Then he sees the popup menu, and 
that is also working OK, but it takes one extra tap.

I would like to streamline the user interaction just a little.  On the 
occasion that there is only one of my ActionBar items in the overflow (if 
that is even possible - I don't know), I would like to skip the 
intermediate choice and go straight to the one popup menu whose button was 
in the overflow.  Is that possible?  Or is it even necessary?  Can there be 
only one item in the ActionBar overflow?  So far I have simulated this 
situation by temporarily setting android:showAsAction="never" for one of 
the ActionBar items.  In production I will use "always", but I don't know 
if there are situations where the Android system will not honor my "always" 
request.
