onCreateOptionsMenu() calling super

Question

I\'m creating application with OptionsMenu. I found few examples with it, but everyone is using different place where to call super.onCreateOptionMenu

Answer 1

The source for onCreateOptionsMenu() is as follows:

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    if (mParent != null) {
        return mParent.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }
    return true;
}

Where mParent is the parent Activity of the current Activity. If your Activity extends android.app.Activity then can just return true at the end and not worry about calling the super, as the default implementation will attempt to show a menu based on the parent Activity, which you probably don't want.
