Part of the problem of the old menu button was that it was impossible to tell ahead of time whether it would do anything at all. There's nothing wrong with having items hidden off-screen (in many cases you want to do exactly that), the problem came from not knowing there was anything there.

Firstly, is com.reflect.player.Main_Activity an action that is being sent in an Intent by your code? If so you're not following standard naming conventions for actions. It should be package(.subpackage).action.YOUR_ACTION_IN_CAPS. What you've specified looks more like the classname for your
