    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }    
}

Can somebody with some basic knowledge find a bit time and explain me this or give me some advice how can I fix my problem?

Answer 1

your menu file name is main.xml so you have to change your code to this :

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }
