A:
Use the openOptionsMenu() method of your Activity to open the Menu programatically.
Still, what Nikola said is right - you'd be better conforming with Android's guidelines.

If you don't want to use the button of the phone, you have to do the following :
define a listener on your button:
openMenuButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.yourButton);
openMenuButton .setOnClickListener(this);
and then in the method onClick(), add :
openOptionsMenu()
