android.view.InflateException not sure why its force closing

Question

I have an error I am having trouble reproducing. I think it comes about when the app is being used then the user switches aps and of goes to the homescreen for awhile then comes back to my app. The full error is:

            toast.show();
        }
    }


}

Lastly my menu xml looks like this:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <item android:id="@+id/menu_search2"
        android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
        android:title="Search"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
        android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
        android:onClick="goToSearch" />

    <item android:id="@+id/action_scan"
        android:icon="@drawable/barcode"
        android:onClick="scanBarcode"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"/>
</menu>

I cannot for the life of me figure out where this error is coming from.

What API are you targeting? Looks similar to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11245829/inflateexception-couldnt-resolve-menu-item-onclick-handler — Larry McKenzie, May 21 '14 at 00:31

I would recommend using the onOptionsItemSelected mechanism if possible instead of manually wiring the click methods.

Take a look at the documentation: Android Developer Guide:Menus

You might have found a platform bug. Does it still happen if you set your activity theme to Theme.Holo or Theme.Holo.Light? Specifically, try it with something that isn't based on Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar.

If this fixes your original problem please report this at http://b.android.com.

You have wrong method signature.

This is yours

public void goToSearch(MenuItem item){
}

This is how it should be

public void goToSearch(View v){ 
}

please see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html#onClick for reference
