I have been searching on the web for something like this and have had no luck just one reference but that only suited the user who posted it . I have a class called OptionsMenu which extends AppCompatActivity and implements the OnCreateOptionsMenu . I am wondering if their is a way to initialize this method or as to call it out since making a new instance of my OptionsMenu class isn't working to make the menu appear. How can this be called out so that the menu options appear ?
**UPDATED **
Here is the class with OnCreateOptions inside of it .

}
Above is the code inside the OnCreate() is where I need to instantiate or call out the OnCreateOptionsMenu ???? Any way to do this ????? I will leave a comment there where I need it .
