Don't know why but the 3 dots on the action bar aren't showing up.I've been following a udacity tutorial to make this happen


java code:

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

xml code

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android=
    "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=
        "com.app.supermarketaislefinder">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_settings"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="Settings"
        app:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>
