Menu
I have a menu for my main activity (res/menu/main_menu.xml) and I want only one item on the Actionbar and the rest shall be hidden under three dots menu. 
The problem is, I never see the three dots item on my actionbar. Why I can't see three dots item? How to force items to be hidden under it?
Note: I use minSdkVersion="14" and I test in AVD.

Right-click res folder and create a new Resource Directory of type menu. Right-click the menu directory and create a new resource file. From there you can drag and drop a menu item from the XML design. That should give you the 3 dots.
The kebab menu, also known as the three-dot menu and the vertical three-dot menu, is an icon used to open a menu with additional options. The icon is usually located at the top right or top of a screen or window.
The app bar, also known as the action bar, is one of the most important design elements in your app's activities, because it provides a visual structure and interactive elements that are familiar to users.
<?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"> <item android:id="@+id/menu_item_share" android:title="@string/share" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_share" app:showAsAction="ifRoom" android:actionProviderClass="android.widget.ShareActionProvider" /> <item android:id="@+id/empty" android:title="@string/options" android:orderInCategory="101" app:showAsAction="always" android:icon="@drawable/baseline_more_vert_black"> <menu> <item android:id="@+id/action_settings" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_preferences" app:showAsAction="ifRoom" android:title="@string/settings" /> <item android:id="@+id/action_help" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_help" app:showAsAction="ifRoom" android:title="@string/help" /> </menu> </item> </menu> You will need to add the baseline_more_vert_black icons to your res/drawable... folders once you've downloaded them from here.
