I get actionBar in onCreate method as:

and back button(onOptionsItemSelected method) as below:

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){     Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);     startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);     return true; }

Answer 1

you have to create an entry inside res/menu,override onCreateOptionsMenu and inflate it

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

an entry for the menu could be:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >     <item         android:id="@+id/action_cart"         android:icon="@drawable/cart"         android:orderInCategory="100"         android:showAsAction="always"/>  </menu>
