android menu点击,如何以编程方式触发/点击Android中的MenuItem？

我在menu_main.xml中有这些菜单项

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

tools:context=".MainActivity">

android:orderInCategory="1" />

android:orderInCategory="2" />

android:orderInCategory="3" />

android:orderInCategory="4" />

android:orderInCategory="5" />

我在我的onOptionsItemSelected方法中有这个：

@Override

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will

// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long

// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.

int id = item.getItemId();

if (id == R.id.action_restart) {

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Restart...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

if (id == R.id.action_clear) {

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Clear...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

if (id == R.id.action_update) {

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Update...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

if (id == R.id.action_about) {

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "About...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

if(id == R.id.action_try_restart) {

// how to click / trigger the "action_restart" from here?

}

return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

}

我试过：

MenuItem actionRestart = (MenuItem) findViewById(R.id.action_restart);

actionRestart; //

但是actionRestart引用不提供任何类似的点击,触发器等.

我也想注意到,我是Android开发的新手,我来自PHP / JavaScript背景,所以这个级别的Java OOP对我而言都是新的.
