Implementing an option menu in Android Studio

Question

How do I implement an option menu in my android application? I tried code from Android Developer but I get errors. Such as these: Element menu must be declared.

You need to create a menu.xml in directory res->menu like menu

Then you need to create your menu from activity with below code

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

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.help) {

       //do something
       return true;
    }
    if (id == R.id.new_game) {

       //do something
       return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
