From answer that was removed due to being written in Spanish   All of the above fixes may not work in android studio  If you are using ANDROID STUDIO please use the following fix   Use  xmlns  compat    http   schemas android com tools    on the menu label instead of  xmlns  compat    http   schemas android com apk res-auto

Add  android-support-v7-appcompat jar  to Android Private Libraries

The problem is related to AppCompat library  With it  you have   xmlns appname  http   schemas android com apk res-auto    and possibly   appname showAsAction  never    in menu xml file     Without the lib  you can only have   android showAsAction  never    and my app works with menu both on Android 4 3 and 2 3 3
