Android, How to create option Menu

Question

Here I tried to make option menu, but menu is not displaying on screen, so please guide me where am I doing mistake...

MenuTest.java

public class MenuTest extends Activity {    @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {     MenuInflater inflater=getMenuInflater();     inflater.inflate(R.menu.more_tab_menu, menu);     return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);  } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {     switch(item.getItemId())     {     case R.id.feeds:         break;     case R.id.friends:         break;     case R.id.about:         break;     }     return true; } } 

And my XML file is more_tab_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item     android:id="@+id/feeds"     android:title="Feeds"/> <item     android:id="@+id/friends"     android:title="Friends"/> <item     android:id="@+id/about"     android:title="About"/> </menu>
