        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // show menu when menu button is pressed
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // display a message when a button was pressed
        String message = "";
        if (item.getItemId() == R.id.option1) {
            message = "You selected option 1!";
        }
        else if (item.getItemId() == R.id.option2) {
            message = "You selected option 2!";
        }
        else {
            message = "Why would you select that!?";

public class MenuTest extends Activity {

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.more_tab_menu, menu);

        // return true so that the menu pop up is opened
        return true; 
    }
}

and don't forget to press the menu button or icon on Emulator or device

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.

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
