Android: onCreateOptionsMenu - Remove Default Menu Item

I am using the onCreateOptionsMenu and there is a default menu item that I did not program. I would like to remove it because I have no use for it and it does not do anything. Here is what it looks like:

enter image description here

I would like to get rid of the "Settings" item.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    menu.add(1, 1, 0, "item1");
    menu.add(1, 2, 1, "item2");

    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_name, menu);
    return true;
}

As you can see, I have not manually added it myself. How do I get rid of it?

The settings option is automatically generated in the menu xml by eclipse. Remove it from the xml menu and that option will be no longer shown.

Yes, you have. It is coming from:

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_name, menu);

Remove the aforementioned line. Or, move your Java-based Menu manipulations to res/menu/activity_name.xml and get rid of "Settings" from that file.
