Interesting. I have not run into this issue using `onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu)` before. Perhaps it's related to using the framework Activity class (android.app.Activity) directly instead of one from the support libraries?
Oh, I see. Out of curiosity, what approach is it that they use? I quickly went through some of the apps at https://android.googlesource.com/ but the ones I looked at seemed to be using `onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu)` to provide their menus.
