**
This is the menu xml that I have created and named as ‘main_menu.xml’ and created an item inside this called ‘new_setings’: ** **

<?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/new_settings"
        android:icon="@drawable/baseline_build_24"
        android:title="settings"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
        />
    


</menu>

The java code in mainactivity:


package com.example.dontknow;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Toast;

import androidx.activity.EdgeToEdge;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBar;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar;
import androidx.core.graphics.Insets;
import androidx.core.view.ViewCompat;
import androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        new MenuInflater(this).inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }




    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
       int id = item.getItemId();
       if (id==R.id.new_settings){
           Toast.makeText(this, "clicked dfsssssssssssssssss ewrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
       }else {
           Toast.makeText(this, "Nothing has happend", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
       }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

    }










    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.main_toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);



    //    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
        if(getSupportActionBar()!=null){
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        }






        EdgeToEdge.enable(this);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);




















        ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(findViewById(R.id.main), (v, insets) -> {
            Insets systemBars = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.systemBars());
            v.setPadding(systemBars.left, systemBars.top, systemBars.right, systemBars.bottom);
            return insets;
        });
    }
}

    Problem is solved. This code was actually missing in activity_main.xml inside Toolbar :

    app:menu="@menu/main_menu"

    Needed to create a custom item style in the main_menu.xml for changing menu icons I have inserted these codes for the icons otherwise only changing the drawables icons inside 'item' won't help.

    style name="MyTheme" parent="android:Widget.Holo.ActionButton.Overflow">
     <item name="android:src">@drawable/baseline_build_24</item>
 </style>

    and added the new item of this MyTheme inside the parent application theme

    <item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyTheme</item>

    You need to call setContentView before setting up the toolbar.

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.main_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
