What I need: Create an options menu with Sign in option, when user signs

  • 0

What I need:
Create an options menu with “Sign in” option, when user signs in it needs to change to “Sign Out” when user taps on the menu button again

When using a pure SDK i can just change the menu options in onPrepareOptionsMenu
the same works when using compatibility library v4
however when using ActionBarSherlock the menu won’t update in onPrepareOptionsMenu; it still gets called, but the menu shown does not change.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Yeah, this is a nasty bug in ABS.
    You can fix it like this:
    In FragmentActivity.java find onPrepareOptionsMenu(android.view.Menu menu) method and comment out or delete

    if (mOptionsMenuInvalidated) {
    

    line and it’s corresponding closing bracket, so this block gets executed every time.
    Do the same in the FragmentMapActivity activity, if you are using it.
