(Deprecated) Fragment onOptionsItemSelected not being called

Question

EDIT: This question was for the deprecated sherlock action bar. Android support library should be used instead now I have added an action bar menu option called share for my `fragment` which appears but the selection event is not being caught I am adding it like this ``` @Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu (Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { MenuItem item = menu.add(0, 7,0, R.string.share); item.setIcon(R.drawable.social_share).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM); } ``` Trying to capture it in both the `fragment` and the `fragment activity` like ``` @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch (item.getItemId()) { case 7: Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); share.setType("text/plain"); share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm being sent!!"); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Text")); return true; default: return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } } ``` and I have `setHasOptionsMenu(true);` in the `onCreate()`.

Accepted Answer

Edit for actionbar sherlock use

I had to use

```
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
```

in the main activity to capture the menu item
