Question

I develop an android app, and I have two menus in action bar, I make an action for each of them, but I only able to access one of them, this is my code

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
    Toast.makeText(this, "Studentsite News", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    Intent i = new Intent(this, ssnews.class);
    startActivity(i);
    return true;
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected1(MenuItem item)
{
    Toast.makeText(this, "About", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    Intent i = new Intent(this, about.class);
    startActivity(i);
    return true;
}

Do you any idea to fix it? I would really appreciate it.

Read through this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#RespondingOptionsMenu.

This section demonstrates the ideal way of using the onOptionsItemSelected method (actually, anything to do with Menus).

The excerpt from the page (related to your situation):

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle item selection
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.new_game:
            newGame();
            return true;
        case R.id.help:
            showHelp();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}
