Answer 1

here is the code you can use,

<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="com.example.akshaymanagooli.adggbtbrt.MainActivity">
<item
    android:id="@+id/action_settings"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="settings"
    app:showAsAction="never" />
<item
    android:id="@+id/item"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="items"
    app:showAsAction="never" >
    <menu>
        <item
        android:id="@+id/item1"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="item 1"
        app:showAsAction="never" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/item2"
            android:orderInCategory="100"
            android:title="item 2"
            app:showAsAction="never" />
    </menu>
</item>
</menu>

So idea is inside an item create a new menu block and add your sub items in there so it'll show you a arrow mark like dropdown thing.
