How to manipulate options manipulation from a single method

Question

I have created an application with several activities. In all of the activities i overwrite to onOptionsItemSelected and onCreateOptionsMenu methods. As my onOptionsItemSelected method is quiet long i have to repeat that code segment in every activity. How can i create a single method that can be applied to all activites. Here is my onOptionsItemSelected and onCreateOptionsMenu methods.

 @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        MenuItem loginItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_login);
        User u = sharedPreference.getUser(BaseActivity.this);
        if (u.isLogged()) {
            loginItem.setVisible(false);
        }
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

    @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();
        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_login) {
            if (loggedUser.isLogged())//
            {
                builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());
                builder.setMessage(menuDialogMessage)
                        .setTitle(menuDialogTitle)
                        .setCancelable(false);
                builder.setPositiveButton(ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class));
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }

You can write a base activity which implements these methods. All your activities can extend this base activity instead of AppCompatActivity. This way they will all have this menu 'by default'.
