actionbar menu item onclick?

Question

I have an action bar that puts everything in a menu in the top right, which the user clicks and the menu options open up.

I inflate the action bar menu with this on

Answer 1

If you add an onClick attribute on your menu item like this:

Then in your activity:

public void doThis(MenuItem item){
    Toast.makeText(this, "Hello World", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Note:

ActionBarSherlock is deprecated. Unless you are developing an app for Android 4.0 or older, please don't use it. But if you are using the library, you will have to import

import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem;

and not

import com.android.view.MenuItem;

In addition, you could do something like this: ActionBar Sherlock Menu Item OnClick

which @adneal mentions.
