My Manifest

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.androidaz.scanner"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="11"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

My menú

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
    android:id="@+id/menu_settings"
    android:showAsAction="never"
    android:title=""/></menu>

Answer 1

Your build target should be Honeycomb in order to use showAsAction.

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11"
    android:targetSdkVersion="11"/>

Answer 2

Please try remove this,

android:showAsAction="never"

from res/menu folder from every xml file.
