Answer 1

You should have a menu.xml file in your res/menu folder (if you don't have any, make it), with a content like this:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_settings"
        android:title="YOUR_MENU_ITEM"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>
</menu>

Answer 2

I faced same issue Just check your import for R. In my case it was.

import android.R;

Change it to

import your.application.packagename.R;
