onOptionsItemSelected() not called when clicking on menu item which has an actionLayout set on it

Question

In my action bar, I have defined a menu item that can show text "DONE" by the code below:

Menu.xml:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

<item android:id="@+id/action_register_text"
    android:actionLayout="@layout/action_done_text"
    android:title="@string/action_done"
    android:showAsAction="always"/>

</menu>

action_done_text.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/expand_activities_button"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:addStatesFromChildren="true">

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/register_action_bar_done"
    android:layout_width="53dp"
    android:layout_height="35dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="DONE" />

</FrameLayout>

I have onCreateOptionsMenu implement properly in the code, and the view can show the text correctly, but just when I tap on the DONE text, onOptionsItemSelected is not called. To me, it seems like the click event is not recognized.

I was wondering if the above way is not a good way to add a text menu item?

Answer 1

Use this as shown in onOptionsItemSelected not called when using actionLayout (SherlockActionBar)

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.map_menu, menu);
    for (int i = 0; i < menu.size(); i++) {
        MenuItem item = menu.getItem(i);
        if (item.getItemId() == R.id.menu_more) {
            itemChooser = item.getActionView();
            if (itemChooser != null) {
                itemChooser.setOnClickListener(this);
            }
        }
    }
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
