It would be great if there was something like this in Studio. Is there some type of plugin?

I'm also using Android Studio and ended up just adding it to the XML.

The main.xml file in my menu folder looks like this.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
    <item android:id="@+id/action_logout"
          android:title="@string/logout_menu"
          android:orderInCategory="100"
          android:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>

The stuff in the item tag is declaring a menu item.

Is there a wizard (similar to eclipse) or layout editor?
