There is nothing with WebView that interferes with options menus, AFAIK. I have created activities with a WebView and an options menu before, though not in around nine months. Remove the WebView temporarily — if the options menu still misbehaves, then you have some other issue, such as a malformed onKeyDown() implementation.
