How to set menu to Toolbar in Android

I want use ToolBar instead of ActionBar, but don't show me menu in toolbar!!! i want set menu such as Refresh or Setting buttons in ActionBar.

Toolbar.xml code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    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:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    app:navigationContentDescription="@string/abc_action_bar_up_description"
    app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
    app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
    app:title="Main Page"
    android:gravity="center"/>

MainPage.java code:

public class MainPage extends AppCompatActivity {
    private Toolbar toolbar;

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

        toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.main_toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        if (getSupportActionBar() != null) {
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Main Page");
        }
        toolbar.setSubtitle("Test Subtitle");
        toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.main_menu);
    }
}

main_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_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>

How to fix this problem and show menu in Toolbar ? thanks all dears <3

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;
}

Don't use setSupportActionBar(toolbar)

I don't know why but this works for me.

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.main_toolbar);
toolbar.setSubtitle("Test Subtitle");
toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.main_menu);

For menu item click do this:

toolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new Toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
        if (item.getItemId() == R.id.item1) {
            // do something
        } else if (item.getItemId() == R.id.filter) {
            // do something
        } else {
            // do something
        }

        return false;
    }
});

Will update the why part of this answer when I find a proper explanation.

Here is a fuller answer as a reference to future visitors. I usually use a support toolbar but it works just as well either way.

1. Make a menu xml

This is going to be in res/menu/main_menu.

• Right click the res folder and choose New > Android Resource File.
• Type main_menu for the File name.
• Choose Menu for the Resource type.

Paste in the following content as a starter.

<?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_add"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_add"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
        android:title="Add">
    </item>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_settings"
        app:showAsAction="never"
        android:title="Settings">
    </item>
</menu>

You can right click res and choose New image asset to create the ic_add icon.

2. Inflate the menu

In your activity add the following method.

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

3. Handle menu clicks

Also in your Activity, add the following method:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle item selection
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.action_add:
            addSomething();
            return true;
        case R.id.action_settings:
            startSettings();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

• Android Menu Documentation

You need to override this code in your Activity:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu, this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main2, menu);
    return true;
}

and set your toolbar like this:

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Also you need this, to implement some action to every options of menu.

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.menu_help:
            Toast.makeText(this, "This is teh option help", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
    return true;
}
