The usage of menu is deprecated since 3.0, use an [ActionBar](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html) instead. – Thibault D. Apr 27 '13 at 10:02

The problem is, my minSDKVersion is 8, so I can't use ActionBar – Phil Apr 27 '13 at 10:08

How about using the support library ? or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10867617/how-do-i-use-the-actionbar-on-older-versions-of-android ? – Thibault D. Apr 27 '13 at 10:10

To answer to your question: you can open the menu programmatically using openOptionsMenu()
.
However, you probably should include a ActionBar instead, as suggested in the comments.
