POOptions menu not showing in ICS using compatibility library
text
Body
copied!<p>I can't get an options menu to show in a Fragment in ICS in a project which uses the android-support-v4.jar library. I'm testing on a Galaxy Nexus handset.</p> <p>We aren't using the action bar, and need the app to be 2.2+ compatible. We aren't seeing any options menu in the activity in ICS (the FragmentActivity doesn't support onCreateOptionsMenu)</p> <p>I can get menus working in previous version of Android - I have all the correct framework to enable the options menu (as below) but nothing shows in ICS. When stepping through the code the onCreateOptionsMenu doesn't get called. Can anyone suggest a fix?</p> <pre><code>import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuInflater; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; public class SuperFragment extends Fragment { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { setHasOptionsMenu(true); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } @Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { inflater.inflate(R.menu.display_options_actions, menu); super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater); } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch(item.getItemId()) { case R.id.menu_sign_in: break; case R.id.menu_sign_out: break; } return true; } // ... } </code></pre> <p>Target OS version in the manifest file:</p> <pre><code><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/> </code></pre>
