title: Android actionbar not visible
body: <p>I am trying to add an option menu in actionbar to my existing app but it is not working. If I create a new project with "hello world" default app I can see the button in action bar.  The onCreateOptionMenu() method seems never caught in debug with breakpoint, what's wrong ?? </p>
  
  <p>I'm working with API 14 on both app and this is my MainActivity code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import android.app.Activity;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.view.Menu;
  
  public class Principale extends Activity {
  
  
  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.ecran_d_acceuil);
  
  
  }
  public boolean onCreateOptionMenu(Menu menu) {
      getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.principale, menu);
      return true;
  }
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My menu.xml code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" &gt;
  &lt;item
      android:id="@+id/action_settings"
