Thanks to both. That was my understanding, but then I run into a problem with the java language. If I declare the rowId variable as local in the onOptionsItemSelected() then the compiler complains that: "local variable rowId is accessed from within inner class; needs to be declared final". And declaring it as a class variable seems like an overkill to me.
