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?

Answer 1

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    View view = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_comment).getActionView();
    view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // do something
        }
    });
    return true;
}

Also, (and that was very important for me, so other answers did not work) you need to disable the clickable option of all views in your action layout (that is, action_bar_comment_layout.xml):

android:clickable="false"
