title: Menu Items are not showing on Action Bar
body: <p>I have made a completely new project. I have added items to the <code>menu</code> layout file. Those items do not show up on the action bar's right side. I remember that an icon with three dots shows up which opens up the menu.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ieLvm.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Here is my <code>Activity</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
          ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
          actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.BLUE));     
          actionBar.show();
      }
  
      @Override
      public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
          getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
          return true;
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is my <code>main.xml</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" &gt;
  
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/action_settings"
          android:orderInCategory="100"
          android:showAsAction="never"
          android:title="@string/action_option1"/&gt;
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/action_settings34"
          android:orderInCategory="100"
          android:showAsAction="never"
          android:title="@string/action_option2"/&gt;
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/action_settings3"
          android:orderInCategory="100"
          android:showAsAction="never"
          android:title="@string/action_option3"/&gt;
  
  
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
