            setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings);

            Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle("My title");
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
        {
            int id = item.getItemId();

            {

Answer 1

Hi Change the following in your code

Add this line to setting class setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Answer 2

I never called the right SettingsActivity.java

So change

setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings);

to

Intent intentAccess = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SettingsActivity.class);
startActivity(intentAccess);

Answer 3

 Toolbar mToolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        (AppCompatActivity) setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
        (AppCompatActivity) getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        (AppCompatActivity) getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
        mToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                onBackPressed();
            }
        });
