Toolbar menu causes my application to crash when opened

Question

I'm having trouble with the menu in my toolbar. The project builds but when the drop down menu is pressed in the top corner,the application crashes. At first i thought it may have been a problem inflating the menu itself but i can't locate the line that is causing this error.

MainActivity.java:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    CircleImageView usrImg;
    TextView usrName;

    FirebaseUser firebaseUser;
    DatabaseReference ref;

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //<-------TOOLBAR LAYOUT----------->
        Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("");
    }

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

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()){
            case R.id.signOut:
                FirebaseAuth.getInstance().signOut();
                startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this,LoginActivity.class));
                finish();
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Answer 1

Try to change the line of code given below. Provide any custom theme or any other theme and if you don't want any theme you can also delete popupTheme it will work fine

 app:popupTheme="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Menu"
