Implementing an option menu in Android Studio

How do I implement an option menu in my android application? I tried code from Android Developer but I get errors. Such as these: Element menu must be declared.

You need to create a menu folder in the res directory and in the menu directory create file named my_menu.xml. In that file write these lines:

Then in your Activity, do this:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
    return true;
}
