Answer 1

As Vipul Shah said you should change this line:

Inflater.inflate(R.layout.menu, menu);

to

Inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);

After that – replace your menu.xml to res/menu instead of res/layout.

Then you should obviously return true instead of returning results of super’s methods.
Your code should be like that:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater Inflater = getMenuInflater();
    Inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch(item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.logout :
        SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
        editor.remove("logged");
        editor.commit();
        finish();
        return true;
    default: return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
