In Google Glass, Menu Items are not shown after XE 17.2 Update, any Solutions?

Question

This worked when the Glass in on XE12, I have opened the solution after about 2 Months and now with XE17 the menu items are not shown when tapped on the Live card, instead the live card is disappearing.
I have updated the GDK, I have changed the code to support the latest GDK sneak peek version 2 changes according to this (https://developers.google.com/glass/release-notes#xe12)

This is the code

public class MenuActivity extends Activity {

private static final String TAG = MenuActivity.class.getSimpleName();

private VisionService.VisionBinder mVisionService;
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
    @Override
    public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
        if (service instanceof VisionService.VisionBinder) {
            mVisionService = (VisionService.VisionBinder) service;
            openOptionsMenu();
        }
        // No need to keep the service bound.
        unbindService(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {

    }
};
private boolean mResumed;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    bindService(new Intent(this, VisionService.class), mConnection, 0);
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mResumed = true;
    openOptionsMenu();
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    mResumed = false;
}

@Override
public void openOptionsMenu() {
    if (mResumed && mConnection != null) {
        super.openOptionsMenu();
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.action_send) {
        mVisionService.requestWorkOrderCard();
        finish();
        return true;
    } else if (id == R.id.action_refresh) {
        mVisionService.requestTopWorkOrders();
        finish();
        return true;
    } else if (id == R.id.action_finish) {
        stopService(new Intent(this, VisionService.class));
        finish();
        return true;
    } else {
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

@Override
public void onOptionsMenuClosed(Menu menu) {
    super.onOptionsMenuClosed(menu);
}
}

This is the error I am getting

.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running?

And this Log(not error) too

Rebinding view with mis-matched type: com.google.glass.home.timeline.TimelineApiAdapter

It would be great if any body could help on this. Thank You

You need to change the way menu gets opened for XE 16 or 17. Below is my code that works:

    public class MenuActivity extends Activity {
        private boolean mAttachedToWindow;

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        }

        @Override
        public void onAttachedToWindow() {
            super.onAttachedToWindow();
            mAttachedToWindow = true;
            openOptionsMenu();
        }

        @Override
        public void onDetachedFromWindow() {
            super.onDetachedFromWindow();
            mAttachedToWindow = false;
        }   

        @Override
        public void openOptionsMenu() {
            if (mAttachedToWindow) {
                super.openOptionsMenu();
            }
        }   

        @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
            MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

            return true;
        }
    ...
    }



    public class AppService extends Service {
        private static final String TAG = "AppService";
        private static final String LIVE_CARD_ID = "HelloGlass";

        private AppDrawer mCallback;
        private LiveCard mLiveCard;

        @Override
        public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
        }

        @Override
        public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
            if (mLiveCard == null) {
                mLiveCard = new LiveCard(this, LIVE_CARD_ID);

                mCallback = new AppDrawer(this);
                mLiveCard.setDirectRenderingEnabled(true).getSurfaceHolder().addCallback(mCallback);

                Intent menuIntent = new Intent(this, MenuActivity.class);
                mLiveCard.setAction(PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, menuIntent, 0));

                mLiveCard.publish(PublishMode.REVEAL);
            } 

            return START_STICKY;
        }
...
}

Also, the GDK samples Stopwatch and Timer (https://developers.google.com/glass/samples/gdk) have menu-related code that works perfectly well.

Hi, thanks for the help, I have tried by adding the onAttachedToWindow() and onDetachedFromWindow() methods and changed the code but still its same as before. Also Ill update the above question with the shown error. — Amalan Dhananjayan, Jun 02 '14 at 06:52
I replaced with ur code, and i had to uninstall the app i installed earlier. The problem is caused by Android Studio's different builds. Ultimately your solution worked. @JeffTang — Amalan Dhananjayan, Jun 03 '14 at 11:13
