Question

I am trying to create a activity for displaying a menu on the emulator screen, by adding this code in my AndroidViews.java file

AndroidViews.java

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionMenu(Menu menu)
{
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

    menu.add(0,1, Menu.NONE,"M1");
    menu.add(0,2,Menu.NONE, "Button");
    menu.add(0,3,Menu.NONE, "CheckBox");
    return true;

}

i am trying to Override the onCreateOptionMenu method of activity class but whenever I have write a Override keyword with the method it will produced an error i.e.
The method onCreateOptionMenu(Menu) of type AndroidViewsActivity must override or implement a supertype method

Plz help me out as soon as possible

Answer 1

Your method name should be onCreateOptionsMenu (note the extra s). If it still doesn’t work you are probably not adding the method to an Activity class.
