Fragment's onOptionsItemSelected doesn't get called
android, android-fragments
Solution
You are not chaining to the superclass in the activity methods. Please have `onCreateOptionsMenu()` return `super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)`, and have `onOptionsItemSelected()` return `super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)` (except for the item that you are handling, which should return `true` to indicate that you have handled the event).
Problem
My fragment replaces the parent Activity options with a specific option item but when I click on the item, only activity's `onOptionItemSelected` gets called eventhough I've overridden the method inside Fragment. Am I missing something? Fragment's methods: ``` @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setHasOptionsMenu(true); } @Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { Log.d(TAG, "Fragment.onCreateOptionsMenu"); if (mPasteMode) { menu.clear(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.contexual_paste, menu); getActivity().getActionBar().setTitle("PasteMode"); } super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater); } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { Log.d(TAG, "Fragment.onOptionsItemSelected"); switch (item.getItemId()) { case R.id.context_action_paste: Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "It worked ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); return true; default: return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } } ``` Activity's methods: ``` @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { Log.d(TAG, "MainActivitiy.onOptionsItemSelected"); switch (item.getItemId()) { case R.id.action_refresh: Toast.makeText(this, "Action Refresh selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; default: break; } return true; } ``` Logcat output: ``` MainActivity.onCreateOptionsMenu Fragment.onCreateOptionsMenu MainActivitiy.onOptionsItemSelected ``` So how can I have the `onOptionsItemSelected` of the fragment called?
