I am new to Android development and I am sorry if this is a repeat but I tried looking at other solutions and they didn't help. So here's my problem:
I tried creating a simple menu that doesn't do anything. It should just pop open when the menu button is pressed. It worked on one emulator(Target Android 3.0(API level 11)) but throws open the logcat in others(Android 1.5 and 4.0) on which I tried and gives the message: "The application menu (process menu.intro) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
My MainActivity.java file:
package menu.intro;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater=getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.mainmenu,menu);
return true;
}
}
My mainmenu.xml file in /res/menu folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/buttonone"
android:icon="@drawable/icon1"
android:title="@string/showimage1"/>
<item android:id="@+id/buttontwo"
android:icon="@drawable/icon2"
android:title="@string/showimage2" />
<item android:id="@+id/buttonthree"
android:icon="@drawable/icon3"
android:title="@string/showimage3" />
</menu>
My activity_main.xml file:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/background"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#000000"
android:src="@drawable/image" />
</RelativeLayout>
The logcat is something like this which is all greek to me:
