Do you mean an options menu?

Have you read this guide?

Yes of course, I think it is an options menu yes, although I´m using a PopupMenu to inflate the menu.

The problem comes at the time of arranging the items inside the menu. There is no way to set one next to each other horizontally.

You can associate a custom layout with a menu item. Is this a possibility?

<item
   android:id="@+id/menu_pick_color"
   android:title="@string/pick_color"
   app:showAsAction="always"
   app:actionLayout="@layout/my_custom_item"/>

Use the graphic designer, drag and drop your widgets onto the screen, than fine tune with your XML. Much easier like that. A/Studio really excels in that.

Ur layout files are in app/src/main/layout, click on the "Design" tab.

Enjoy!
