Hi,

onCreateOptionsMenu for my app isn't called anymore. I tried with SDK
1.0 just yesterday and it worked; today (still on SDK 1.0) the
function isn't called anymore and nothing happens when i hit Menu.

What might be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Teo

Hi, here is my code

private boolean populateMenu(Menu menu) {
boolean result = super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
MenuItem item1 = menu
.add(0, TAG_INSERT_ID, 0, R.string.menu_create);
item1.setAlphabeticShortcut('o');
item1.setIcon(R.drawable.add);
item1 = menu.add(0, TAG_REMOVE_ID, 0, R.string.menu_delete);
item1.setAlphabeticShortcut('i');
item1.setIcon(R.drawable.delete);
item1 = menu.add(0, TAG_EDIT_ID, 0, R.string.menu_edit);
item1.setAlphabeticShortcut('p');
item1.setIcon(R.drawable.rename);
item1 = menu.add(0, TAG_HELP_ID, 0, R.string.menu_rename);
item1.setAlphabeticShortcut('/');
item1.setIcon(R.drawable.help);
return result;
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
populateMenu(menu);
return true;
//return populateMenu(menu);
}

I've tried various combinations of this and couldn't find out what changed.

Thanks,
Teo

This has not been removed or changed AFAIK and it continues to work for me.What
exactly are you doing?

Hi, here is my code

boolean result = super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

Why are you calling super.onCreateOptionsMenu() from populateMenu()?

Post by Teo
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
populateMenu(menu);

Why are you calling super.onCreateOptionsMenu() twice, once here, and
once in populateMenu()?

I don't know if these are the source of your problem.

Thanks for pointing that out, it was an oversight. But it still didn't solve
the problem.onCreateOptionsMenu isn't even called :/

I was in a bit of a rush with the last reply and figured it would be worth
a shot.

Is onPrepareOptionsMenu() being called? That should be called on every
menu button press; onCreateOptionsMenu() will only get called on the first
menu button press.

Nope, nothing happens on prepare either. This is too strange, i remember the
other day i tried the menu and it worked in the latest SDK. Today with no
change in code, nothing, not even a call. I should say the menu works in
other apps, so the problem seems to be only with mine.

I've replaced some PNG images i used for the menu, that's the closest thing
i did; but there shouldn't be any influence from that either..
