Mine was because in styles.xml, parent had a wrong theme. Make sure it starts with android: Try this: 

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>

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

Look at this example

Use this :

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
    Log.d(TAG, "CreateMenu");

     MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
     inflater.inflate(R.layout.menu, menu);
       return true;


}



@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{    

        switch(item.getItemId()) {
                    case R.id.x:

            Toast.makeText(this, "You clicked on item 1",    Toast.LENGTH_LONG)         }
                        break;
                    }


    }
    return true;
}

try as after returning super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu) from onCreateOptionMenu

 public boolean onCreateOptionMenu(Menu menu){

   int group1 = 1;
   int group2 = 2;

   menu.add(group1,1,1,"About").setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
   menu.add(group2,2,2,"App Setting").setIcon(R.drawable.images);

   return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);;
}

There is a nice reference on Android Developers about Menus.

Missing Menu Inflater:

MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);

I had this problem too... It was due in my case to the fact that the images were saved in the folder "drawable". I moved them to the "drawable-hdpi" one and the problem was solved! Cheers.
