It is called a Overflow and one way to hide it is overriding your onPrepareOptionsMenu method and find the overflow button and set its visibility to false

sample:

    @Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
       // if nav drawer is opened, hide the action items
       menu.findItem(R.id.menu_settings).setVisible(false);
       return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

get the menu icon at the extreme right of the action bar

Either:

You have defined items to appear in the overflow area, in which case, get rid of those, or

Your android:targetSdkVersion is under 11, in which case, raise it
