You can open the menu by using a Button with the following code

Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.my_bytton);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    openOptionsMenu();
}
});

Here is the onCreateOptionsMenu method :- 

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_1, menu);
return true;
}

And to handle the click event, use

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.new_menu:
    // do part 1
    return true;
case R.id.help_menu:
    // do part 2
    return true;
default:
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
