        Log.d(\"Does\", \"get called\");
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.menuItem         


        

Answer 1

You need to do two things. Step 1: In Fragment OnCreateView add setHasOptionsMenu(true);

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_user_settings, container, false);
}

Step 2: you need to add getActivity().invalidateOptionsMenu(); in your fragment in OnViewCreated. Or in mainActivity when you change the Fragment.
