I just followed the video and added:

@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu); return true; }

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_logout) {
        ParseUser.logOut();
        navigateToLogin();
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

I also added the last two lines to my menu_main.xml file

<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_settings" android:title="@string/action_settings" android:orderInCategory="100" app:showAsAction="never"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_logout" android:title="@string/menu_logout_label" /> </menu>

Any help will be appreciated.

Also, the following all have lines drawn through them, deprecated.

ActionBarActivity, TabListener, trackAppOpened, setNavigationMode, NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS, setSelectNavigationItem, addTab, newTab, and Tab.
