(Deprecated) Fragment onOptionsItemSelected not being called

Question

EDIT: This question was for the deprecated sherlock action bar. Android support library should be used instead now

I have added an action bar menu o

Answer 1

I'm using actionbarsherlock. This worked for me:

1) Create dummy_menu.xml menu

2) In activity inflate the menu like this:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
    com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
   inflater.inflate(R.menu.dummy_menu,menu);
   return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

3) In fragments onCreateView call setHasOptionsMenu(true) and override onCreateOptionsMenu and onOptionsItemSelected also hide the dummyMenu like this (in fragment)

    @Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_actions, menu);
    MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.dummyMenu);
    item.setVisible(false);
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}

Hope it helps someone.
