android-optionsmenu

I'm following a book on Android Development to get myself started writing my first real app. I got up to the point where I'm making an options menu for one of my activities. The menu shows up, but the corresponding icon of the menu item refuses to display. Here is the code for the menu: ReminderListActivity @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); MenuInflater mi = getMenuInflater(); mi.inflate(R.menu.list_menu, menu); return true; } res/menu/list_menu.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com

I am trying to add an item to the options menu from a group of fragments. I have created a new MenuFragment class and extended this for the fragments I wish to include the menu item in. Here is the code: public class MenuFragment extends Fragment { MenuItem fav; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setHasOptionsMenu(true); } public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { fav = menu.add("add"); fav.setIcon(R.drawable.btn_star_big_off); } } For some reason the onCreateOptionsMenu appears not to run.
