Either use the action bar or get rid of your options menus, using something inside the UI of your activity as a replacement. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Här kan du ställa och svara på frågor om applikationsutveckling på Android: http://www.andglobe.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
