How to call the menu objects from another class?

Question

These are codes, how to pass the menu object from one class to another? What's wrong with my code?

This is my MainActivity class.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    String msg = " ";
    switch (item.getItemId()){
        case R.id.action_settings:
            msg = "Settings";
            break;
        case R.id.action_report:
            msg= "Report";
            break;
    }

    Toast.makeText(this, msg + "Checked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

This is my SecondActivity class

public class Income extends AppCompatActivity{

View_Expenses v = new View_Expenses();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            v.onCreateOptionsMenu(R.menu.main_menu); //Here have problem
}

Answer 1

Copy the same code you used in the first activity in the second one,

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

not the code you tried in onCreate . If you want the menu item responses to be the same, copy the onOptionsItemSelected method too.
