onCreateOptionsMenu called after onResume on JB 4.2

Question

I have the following fragment in my application: ``` public class MyFragment extends SherlockListFragment implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks { private MenuItem refresh = null; @Override public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState); setHasOptionsMenu(true); //..... // NPE here refresh.setActionView(R.layout.indeterminate_progress_action); getActivity().getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this); } @Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { inflater.inflate(R.menu.refresh_menu, menu); refresh = (MenuItem) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_refresh); } @Override public void onLoadFinished(Loader loader, Cursor data) { mAdapter.swapCursor(data); refresh.setActionView(null); } } ``` Basically when the user starts the Activity I want to display a progress spinner, in the actionbar, until the loader completes.

Accepted Answer

I've used `onPrepareOptionsMenu` in this way to achieve what you are trying to do. (not tested but should give you an idea.)

```
private boolean mIsLoading = true;

@Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    refresh = (MenuItem) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_refresh);
    if (!mIsLoading) {
        refresh.setActionView(null);
    }
}

@Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
    mAdapter.swapCursor(data);
    mIsLoading = false;
    getActivity().invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
```
