onOptionsItemSelected not called when using actionLayout (SherlockActionBar)

Question

The method onOptionsItemSelected isn\'t being called when using actionLayout in a menu item. Am I missing something, or is it a known problem with SherlockActionBar?

You should use MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menuItem); instead of item.getActionView(); if you are developing for older version.

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
        for (int i = 0; i< menu.size() ;i++) {
            MenuItem menuItem = menu.getItem(i);
            if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.add_item) {
                View view = MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menuItem);
                if (view != null) {
                    view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v) {
                            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ToDoActivity.class);
                            startActivity(intent);
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        }       
        return true;
    }
