Question

to split the Menu's .it is working fine with emulator 4.03

but not with real device 4.03.It is samsung tablet

Answer 1

splitActionBarWhenNarrow, as the word suggests, only works on small (narrow) devices like phone - splitting controls between top and bottom. It will not split when run on wide devices like tablets.

Reference http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html, search for splitActionBarWhenNarrow.
