title: Why the pictures/icon don't show up in the menu?
body: <p>I followed <a href="http://www.droidnova.com/how-to-create-an-option-menu,427.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a> to create a menu</p>
  
  <p>but my menu looks differently:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pOm3y.png" alt="menu"></p>
  
  <p>How can I create a menu with images?</p>
  
  <p>This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;    
      &lt;item android:id="@+id/preferences"
          android:icon="@drawable/preferences"    
          android:title="Preferences" /&gt;
      &lt;item android:id="@+id/help"
          android:title="Help"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search" /&gt;    
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  
  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          /*menu.add(Menu.NONE, PREF_ID, Menu.NONE, "Preferences")
                  .setIcon(R.drawable.preferences).setAlphabeticShortcut('e');
  
          return (super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));*/
          MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();      
          inflater.inflate(R.menu.activity_ygo_main, menu);
          return true;        
      }
  </code></pre>
