Accepted Answer

I solved that issue.Replace code of `OnCreateOptionsMenu()` with following code.

Code:

```
@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

sv = ShowcaseView.insertShowcaseViewWithType(ShowcaseView.ITEM_ACTION_ITEM,
            R.id.action_edit, FaceFrameActivity_dual.this,"Edit", 
           "Click here to edit image.", co);
     }
```
