  • 0

I get this message on the following code:

public boolean onOptionItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.x:
            Log.i(Home, "klick");

        case R.id.y:
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

And I always get this error:

The method onOptionItemSelected(MenuItem) of type Home must override a
superclass method

I’ve searched all round the internet, there were some posts on stackoverflow, BUT!
My compiler is set to 1.6 and there is no exception for my project.

Why must it override a superclass method? Isn’t this method a superclass method, I use super.onOptions…?

I want to have a @Override because I have seen it somewhere and my code doesn’t seem to work without.

This is my first question here, so please don’t be hard if I forgot something.

    Try onOptionsItemSelected(..)

    You are missing the ‘s’, you have onOptionItemSelected(..)
