My menu layout looks like this:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="@+id/action_change_pin"
    android:title="@string/action_change_pin"
    android:textColor="#000000"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    app:showAsAction="never" />
<item android:id="@+id/action_logout"
    android:title="@string/action_logout"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
