Hardware menu click popuping from bottom not from toolbar

Question

<item
        android:id="@+id/members"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="@string/members"
        app:showAsAction="never" />


 @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
            MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_chat_activity, menu);
            return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
        }





 @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
            // Respond to the action bar's Up/Home button

            case R.id.members:
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, GroupDetailActivity.class);
                intent.putExtra("name", toolbarText);
                intent.putExtra("groupId", currentGroupId);
                startActivity(intent);
                break;

            case android.R.id.home:
                finish();

                }
                return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

i have an activity with toolbar containing a home and an item members the code works fine but if i tap hardware menu button on the device the menu item members is showing on the bottom of the device rather than anchor for the toolbar

Add this code snippet in your onCreate method,

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
        actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
         try {
                ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(this);
                Field menuKeyField = ViewConfiguration.class.getDeclaredField("sHasPermanentMenuKey");
                if(menuKeyField != null) {
                    menuKeyField.setAccessible(true);
                    menuKeyField.setBoolean(config, false);
                }
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                // Ignore
            }
