android getMenuInflater() in a fragment subclass - cannot resolve method

Question

I am trying to inflate a menu in a class that inherits the Fragment class. Here is my OnCreateOptionsMenu() method -

@Override
public bo         


        

Answer 1

Use this code:

@Override
public boolean OnCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.forecastfragment, menu) ;
    final MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.forecastID);
}

where forecastID is the ID of the item in the menu forcastfragment.xml. Also add setHasOptionsMenu(true); in your OnCreateView() so that the fragment will call the method.

As a side, it's standard practice to include the word 'menu' in your menu file names such as 'forecastfragment_menu.xml'. It avoids confusion.
