these problems . how done ????

well:

first issue

this duplicate of this question. think doesn't show because have options button on device. see this post modifying behavior in reflection (however, i'm not sure recommend it, people have expectations device's behavior).

second issue

if followed code correctly, item id item_back , not r.id.home...

hth!
