Here I tried to make option menu, but menu is not displaying on screen, so please guide me where am I doing mistake...

MenuTest.java

public class MenuTest extends Activity {
   @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater=getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.more_tab_menu, menu);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch(item.getItemId())
    {
    case R.id.feeds:
        break;
    case R.id.friends:
        break;
    case R.id.about:
        break;
    }
    return true;
}
}

And my XML file is more_tab_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
    android:id="@+id/feeds"
    android:title="Feeds"/>
<item
    android:id="@+id/friends"
    android:title="Friends"/>
<item
    android:id="@+id/about"
    android:title="About"/>
</menu>

you can create options menu like below:

Menu XML code:

<?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/Menu_AboutUs"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_about_us_over_black"
        android:title="About US"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/Menu_LogOutMenu"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_arrow_forward_black"
        android:title="Logout"/>
</menu>

How you can get the menu from MENU XML(Convert menu XML to java):

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my_options_menu,menu);
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

How to get Selected Item from Menu:

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()){

            case R.id.Menu_AboutUs:
                //About US
                break;

            case R.id.Menu_LogOutMenu:
                //Do Logout
                break;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

Good Day I was checked And if You choose Empty Activity You Don't have build in Menu functions For Build in You must choose Basic Activity In this way You Activity will run onCreateOptionsMenu

Or if You work in Empty Activity from start Chenge in styles.xml the
