res/layout/drawer_menu

<?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_drawer"
        android:title="@string/app_name"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_black_24dp"
        app:showAsAction="always"/>

</menu>

toolbar.xml

<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
    app:titleTextColor="@android:color/white"
    app:titleTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.Widget.Event.Toolbar.Title">

     <TextView
         android:id="@+id/toolbar_title"
         android:layout_gravity="center"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:text="@string/app_name"
         android:textColor="@android:color/white"
         style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title" />

</androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>

Answer 2

In XML add one line inside <Toolbar/>

<com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
app:menu="@menu/main_menu"/>

In java file, replace this:

 setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        if (getSupportActionBar() != null) {
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Main Page");
        }

with this:

toolbar.setTitle("Main Page")

Answer 3

private Toolbar toolbar;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);
    *// here is where you set it to show on the toolbar*
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}

Well, you need to set support action bar setSupportActionBar(); and pass your variable, like so: setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Answer 4

In your activity override this method.

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

This will inflate your menu 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/menu_main_setting"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings"
            android:orderInCategory="100"
            app:showAsAction="always"
            android:actionLayout="@layout/toolbar"
            android:title="Setting" />

        <item
            android:id="@+id/menu_main_setting2"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings"
            android:orderInCategory="200"
            app:showAsAction="always"
            android:actionLayout="@layout/toolbar"
            android:title="Setting" />

    </menu>

Answer 5

Simple fix to this was setting showAsAction to always in menu.xml in res/menu

<?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/add_alarm"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_name"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="Add"
        app:showAsAction="always"
        android:visible="true"/>

</menu>

Answer 6

just override onCreateOptionsMenu like this in your MainPage.java

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
    return true;
}
