Set setHasMenuOptions true  works if application has a theme with Actionbar such as Theme MaterialComponents DayNight DarkActionBar or Activity has it s own Toolbar  otherwise onCreateOptionsMenu in fragment does not get called  If you want to use standalone Toolbar you either need to get activity and set your Toolbar as support action bar with  requireActivity   as  MainActivity   setSupportActionBar toolbar   which lets your fragment onCreateOptionsMenu to be called  Other alternative is  you can inflate your Toolbar s own menu with toolbar inflateMenu R menu YOUR MENU  and item listener with toolbar setOnMenuItemClickListener         do something    true

Your already have the autogenerated file res menu menu xml defining action settings   In your MainActivity java have the following methods    Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu Menu menu        getMenuInflater   inflate R menu menu  menu       return true      Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected MenuItem item        int id   item getItemId        switch  id            case R id action settings                 do stuff  like showing settings fragment             return true             return super onOptionsItemSelected item      important line     In the onCreateView   method of your Fragment call   setHasOptionsMenu true      and also add these 2 methods    Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu Menu menu  MenuInflater inflater        inflater inflate R menu fragment menu  menu       Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected MenuItem item        int id   item getItemId        switch  id            case R id action 1                 do stuff             return true           case R id action 2                 do more stuff             return true             return false      Finally  add the new file res menu fragment menu xml defining action 1 and action 2   This way when your app displays the Fragment  its menu will contain 3 entries    action 1 from res menu fragment menu xml action 2 from res menu fragment menu xml action settings from res menu menu xml
