AppCompact ListView CAB not showing

Question

I am trying to make my listview use multiple select feature. I have followed a couple of tutorials and came up with the code below. For some reason I can't get the CAB to show and I'm wondering what am I doing wrong here.

This is the function in which I try to set the listview multi selectable and where I try to inflate the CAB

public void loadGroupSchedule(final int gid) {
        SUBLEVEL = 1;
        CustomListViewValuesArrSchedules.clear();
//        list.notify();
        list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listViewCustom);
        list.setAdapter(null);

        list.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL);

        list.setMultiChoiceModeListener(new AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode mode, int position, long id, boolean checked) {

            }

            @Override
            public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
                MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
                inflater.inflate(R.menu.test, menu);
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
                return false;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
                return false;
            }

            @Override
            public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {

            }
        });

        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
        StringRequest sr = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, SERVER_SCHEDULES, new Response.Listener<String>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(String response) {
            ... //too much code, deleted it from here
            }
        }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                if (SUBLEVEL != 5) {
                    hideLoading();
                    list.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                    ISVU.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                    noInternet.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    Button retry = (Button) findViewById(R.id.noInternetBtn);

                    retry.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v) {
                            noInternet.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                            list.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                            loadGroupSchedule(gid);
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        }) {
            @Override
            protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
                Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
                params.put("groupid", String.valueOf(gid));

                return params;
            }

            @Override
            public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
                //params.put("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
                return new HashMap<String, String>();
            }
        };
        showLoading();
        queue.add(sr);

    }

This is my listview item layout

This is my listview

<ListView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/listViewCustom"
        android:dividerHeight="0dp" />

And this is my menu

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/test_id"
        android:title="test"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_chick" />
</menu>

I am using a custom adapter for the listview, could that be an issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im sorry, maybe, I lost smth. But you call `list.setAdapter(null);` and I can't find where you set a not null adapter. — Denis Sologub, Oct 25 '16 at 19:24
It's called, I just commented it out due to the length of code. The listview shows rows correctly — Petar-Krešimir, Oct 25 '16 at 19:26
Read [this topic](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26483778/display-actionmode-over-toolbar) — Denis Sologub, Oct 25 '16 at 19:41
I think that it doesn't call an action mode in the `Toolbar`. You can call it manually. Sorry, I haven't a studio now to analyze your code. — Denis Sologub, Oct 25 '16 at 19:42
Okay thanks, I'll look into it. At least I'm on some track now, thanks mate — Petar-Krešimir, Oct 25 '16 at 19:46
@Шах Thank you thank you thank you thank you :) I've spent 3 hours searching and going crazy, thanks to your answer I've done it all in 10 minutes! Please post it as an answer so I can accept it! — Petar-Krešimir, Oct 25 '16 at 20:00
Sorry, I type from my phone it's hard... But I glad that it helped you! — Denis Sologub, Oct 25 '16 at 20:06

Maybe, the listener can not call an action mode in the Toolbar.
Read this topic to call it manually.
