I figured out the problem(s) and it does not matter if you extends ActionBarActivity or Activity(using one of these depends on what min sdk version you are supporting) 1.I did not inflate the menu items 2.I did not use the correct theme for the activity.

You can create a Custom design from you actionbar or you can set the icon in android manifest for each activity!

Usually you don't need inherit from ActionBarActivity, but you can inherit for a theme with a actionbar or use getActionbar().show() in you code :)

Good luck
