Android - NestedFragments participate in populating the options menu

android-fragments, fragmentpageradapter

Solution

Yes they can.

With android 4.2 or support library revisiion 11 nested fragments participate in populating options menu, as allways you need to call `setHasOptionsMenu(true)` during `onCreate()`.

But if you are using ActionBarSherlock they won't, you have to manually call from parent fragment `onCreateOptionsMenu()` nested fragment method `onCreateOptionsMenu()`.

Update: issue

Problem

i am implementing the new nested fragment feature and had stumble into a problem. my view is basically this: a main activity(A) that includes a fragment(B), this fragment(B) includes a pager adapter that has 3 pages each of them is a fragment(C) also. previously to the new getchildfragmentmanger this was not doable, but it works perfectly. but one issue did arise, i want fragments C to be able to participate in populating the option menu. i tired putting setHasOptionsMenu(true) in the onActivityCreated method on each of my C fragments and overriding also onCreateOptionsMenu but nothing happens... if i try to populate the menu from fragment B (which is the container of the pager adapter) i can change the menu items... any thoughts ? Thanks.
