I have tried to add options menu to my application, but when adding a Create Options Menu to the code it is not used. It looks like this:

IDE snapshot showing unused handler

I used in this page on Fragment Activity and implements Tab Listener.

What is the right way to add the Options Menu?

In the fragment activity where you want to have the menu (Make sure you are importing android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity):

@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); }

In res/menu folder you should have this file: main_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@+id/itemId" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" android:title="@string/yourString"/> </menu>

I forgot you were using fragments. See my edited answer!
its not fragment its FragmentActivity.. so getActivity() method is not working in this case..
See my edited answer again, this soul work. It's working on my app right now using Fragment Activities
Did you check the import?
