This is my Java code. myFrag class extends FragmentActivity and I have used switch case to select each item in the menu. All the other menu items show without a problem and every time the menu actionflow button is clicked additional items named res/menu-v11/items.xml are automatically added.
Please also see the screen shot of how the menu items appear.Thanks in advance.

startActivity(startSearch);
break;
case R.id.login:

case R.id.settings:
// Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You selected settings",
break;
case R.id.exit:
break;
default:
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
The switch case is used to select between items
Here is my items xml code in the menu folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/search"
android:title="#string/search_"
android:icon="#drawable/search"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/publish"
android:title="#string/publish_"
android:icon="#drawable/publish"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/login"
android:title="#string/login_"
android:icon="#drawable/login"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/settings"
android:title="#string/settings_"
android:icon="#drawable/settings"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/exit"
android:title="#string/exit_"
android:icon="#drawable/power"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
/>
</menu>
I think you should add menu(not in menu-v11)
Select res folder, right click on it
New > Android Resource Directory > Resource Type = menu > Press Enter
There you are. Now you will see menu folder under res.
To add menu's xml inside menu
New > Menu Resource File > Name the file > Press Enter
it should be like this res/menu/items.xml

screenshot after clickin on 3 dots
In my case it was a Theme specific for the action bar in the activity layout
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar"
.../>
Removing the theme property solved my problem
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar android:id="#+id/toolbar" android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar"/>
Removing the theme attribute will resolve this problem.
Try to add to the item on the menu xml
android:orderInCategory="100"
and add break; after
case R.id.more_information:
return true;

I really need some guide or suggestion about how to creat a menu with icons.
I am write an Android app, and I want to creat a menu like this, when I enter this app, I can see the "Main" menu in the center, I can edit the text of the menu.I press the icon of main menu, a "+" icon slide out, then I can add a sub menu with press the "+". And next time, I enter this app, I can see the main menu icon around with some sub menu icons. And if I want, I can press main menu icon to hide the sub menu icon.(I cannot post a image, so I hope you can understand)
Really need help about this.
Use this code to make menu in android.And also download these icons from Android™ Drawables
res/layout/menu.xml
<item android:id="#+id/menu_save"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_save"
android:title="Save" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_search"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_search"
android:title="Search" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_share"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_share"
android:title="Share" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_delete"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_delete"
android:title="Delete" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_preferences"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_preferences"
android:title="Preferences" />

i'm trying to create this simple menu, it loads up in the emulator (1.6 version ) but none of the submenues show up
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/icon"
android:icon="#drawable/icon" />
<item android:id="#+id/text"
android:title="Text" />
<item android:id="#+id/icontext"
android:title="Icon and text"
android:icon="#drawable/icon" />
thats the xml file
I think you need to create another menu element inside your main menu element in your xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<menu>
<item android:id="#+id/icon"
android:icon="#drawable/icon" />
<item android:id="#+id/text"
android:title="Text" />
<item android:id="#+id/icontext"
android:title="Icon and text"
android:icon="#drawable/icon" />
</menu>
There's an easy tutorial for submenus here.
I am new to Android application development.I want to develop a simple android application which contains menus.Is there any source code on internet.Can anybody tell me how should i pursue
Thanks in advance

Everything you need to know is in the Android Dev Guide.
What it comes down to - and I'm just copying relevant parts from the Android Dev guide - is creating an XML menu resource, e.g. this one, and saving it as game_menu.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/new_game"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_new_game"
android:title="#string/new_game" />
<item android:id="#+id/help"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_help"
android:title="#string/help" />
</menu>
And then inflating it within your activity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);
return true;
}
When an item is clicked, you can do several actions:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle item selection
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.new_game:
newGame();
return true;
case R.id.help:
showHelp();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
XML CODE:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/menu_new"
android:title="New" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_about"
android:title="About" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_help"
android:title="Help" />
</menu>
Main Code:
package com.menuexample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MenuSample extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
menuInflater.inflate(R.layout.menus, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.menu_about:
Toast.makeText(MenuSample.this, "You Clicked About", 3000).show();
return true;
case R.id.menu_help:
Toast.makeText(MenuSample.this, "You Clicked Help", 3000).show();
return true;
case R.id.menu_new:
Toast.makeText(MenuSample.this, "You Clicked New", 3000).show();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
}
The previous answers have covered the traditional menu used in android. Their is another option you can use if you are looking for an alternative
https://github.com/AnshulBansal/Android-Pulley-Menu
Pulley menu is an alternate to the traditional Menu which allows user to select any option for an activity intuitively. The menu is revealed by dragging the screen downwards and in that gesture user can also select any of the options.
