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

<menu xmlns:android="http://scheR_421_11845@as.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://scheR_421_11845@as.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://scheR_421_11845@as.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <item android:id="@+id/action_restart" android@R_489_6964@="Restart"
        android:orderInCategory="1" />
    <item android:id="@+id/action_clear" android@R_489_6964@="Clear"
        android:orderInCategory="2" />
    <item android:id="@+id/action_update" android@R_489_6964@="update"
        android:orderInCategory="3" />
    <item android:id="@+id/action_about" android@R_489_6964@="About"
        android:orderInCategory="4" />
    <item android:id="@+id/action_try_restart" android@R_489_6964@="Try Restart"
        android:orderInCategory="5" />
</menu>

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：

@H_7_2@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.
