You need to add a method called onCreateOptionsMenu , example:

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

Within the res directory, you must create the menu directory, and within the menu directory, you create the main .xml .

Here is an example of the menu XML:

<menu
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" 
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <item 
        android:id="@+id/action_back" 
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_back"
        android:orderInCategory="100" 
        app:showAsAction="always" />

</menu>

Each item you add in XML will be a button on your ActionBar .
