Question

Im trying to get a custom menu to show when the menu button is clicked on my phone. Its not showing at all.

I have a register icon caled register.png in this folder /res/drawable.
I have my my_menu.xml in a folder called /res/menu.
Did I lay out my folders wrong or is there something wrong in my code below.

I renamed menu.xml to my_menu.xml
I changed my code and now im getting these errors:

[2012-04-07 07:50:43 – HelloWebView] W/ResourceType( 1560): Bad XML block: no root element node found
[2012-04-07 07:50:43 – HelloWebView] C:\Users\josh\workspace\HelloWebView\res\menu\my_menu.xml:4: error: No resource identifier found for attribute ‘showAsAction’ in package ‘android’

my_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    
    <item android:id="@+id/register"          
        android:icon="@drawable/register"          
        android:title="@string/register"          
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>    

</menu>

Mainapp

public class HelloWebViewActivity extends Activity {
    WebView mWebView;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {    
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    
        setContentView(R.layout.main);    
        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);    
        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);    
        mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.Google.com");
        mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
    }

    private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {   
        @Override    
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {        
            view.loadUrl(url);        
            return true;    
        }}

    @Override  
    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {    
        if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {        
            mWebView.goBack();       
            return true;    
        }    
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);}

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu my_menu) {    
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();    
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, my_menu);    

    return true;
    }
}

Answer 1

inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, my_menu); 

That solved the code alone with removing
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
