I need an example or a tutorial on how to add menu items with action bar sherlock
When I use the simple menu with the imports
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
when I call
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.settings_menu, menu);
return true;
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.goToSettings:
startActivity(new Intent(this, SetPreference.class));
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
then I get the Cannot override the final method from SherlockActivity error.
You have to use Menu
, MenuInflater
and MenuItem
classes from com.actionbarsherlock.view
package:
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem;
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.settings_menu, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
BTW, ActionBarSherlock
contains a lot of samples.
I used @StenaviN 's answer above but ran into problems with onContextItemSelected. This post solved it for me.
Basically, you just have to use
@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(android.view.MenuItem item) {
/* ... */
}
instead of
@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
/* ... */
}
