I have been trying almost everything to get this share button to work. The button is placed right but it's not getting clicked and the share window is not showing.
Secondly, I want it to share Web URL of the page when clicked and I am also unable to understand how to do that.
Moreover, I do not want the button to be hidden in the Action settings. I want it to be displayed on the top bar, that's what's my main problem is.

First, the button is not clickable.
Second, how to share the current page URL?
These are the two queries which I am unable to solve.

You are missing the toolbar in your activity.
Try adding it to the xml of your activity:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
... />
And then setting it as the toolbar:
setSupportActionBar(findViewById(R.id.toolbar))
I have been following the Android Development course on Udacity, and got to a lesson where we were to implement a ShareActionProvider. After attempting it myself, and then following what they did--I'm certain it's not working properly.
I'm putting the code in a Fragment; the correct item is present in the overflow menu, but when I click "Share", nothing happens. I noticed when I open the DetailsActivity, that the following appears in the logs:
17493-17493/com.dummy.sunshine.app W/MenuItemCompat﹕ setActionProvider: item does not implement SupportMenuItem; ignoring
I'm not sure what that means, but I couldn't find anything about it online. I would assume that clicking it is supposed to do something--however, they never go over what's supposed to happen after that lesson--so I'm a tad confused.

This is what the app looks like on the DetailActivity page:
I believe your problem is that on your DetailActivity you are extending a FragmentActivity while you should be extending an AppCompatActivity (which is a subclass of the FragmentActivity), as you are using an action bar on your activity and using the support library.
so you should replace this:
public class DetailActivity extends FragmentActivity {
by this:
public class DetailActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
and import the support library:
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
I don't know if you already have it set, but you also need to set your AppTheme to be Theme.AppCompat or something similar on your AndroidManifest.xml. Something like below:
</manifest>
<application
...
android:theme=""Theme.AppCompat.Light" >
...
</application>
</manifest>
I'm doing the same exercise in the Udacity and that worked for me, I hope it helps.
I assume you want the share view appears beside the toolbar menu!

i m very new into android app. I m trying to execute an app that should contain a refresh button in the action bar. While compiling a code, the studio is prompting this error

Change WebView.reload() to mWebView.reload()
In the former case, you are calling reload() on the WebView class, whereas in the latter you are telling your specific instance of WebView to reload.
This SO question may clarify things a bit more.
I'm trying to display the Search Icon in the top right of my Actionbar.

The faithmenu.xml below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
>
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
android:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" ></item>
</menu>
You should use name space app for showAsAction, so it should be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
>
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
android:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" > </item>
</menu>
When your item have android:showAsAction="ifRoom" If there's not enough room for the item in the action bar, it will appear in the action overflow.
You can also use "always" (android:showAsAction="always") to declare that an item always appear as an action button. However, you should not force an item to appear in the action bar this way. Doing so can create layout problems on devices with a narrow screen. It's best to instead use "ifRoom" to request that an item appear in the action bar, but allow the system to move it into the overflow when there's not enough room.
I am a beginner to Android. Trying to add a search a widget in the action bar.
Here is my menu file code ("main_acitivity.xml"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<!-- Search, should appear as action button -->
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView" />
<!-- Settings, should always be in the overflow -->

I have tried "android.widget.SearchView" as well but it is not even showing the icon. Could you please advise what I am doing wrong ?
you missed these:
xmlns:yourappname="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
and
yourappname:showAsAction="always"
yourappname:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
