Android doesn't allow both contextmenu && optionsmenu?

Question

i've tried to add an optionsmenu and a contextmenu to one activity, but it doesn't work.

When i create a new XML file in the menu folder, where the XML file for the optionsmenu exists, the whole android app doesn't work, because the R.java file couldn't be created/updated again.

Why this is happening?

Anybody got the same problems?

Thank you for your answers.

Yes, that caused the problem, after i cleaned the project files, this effect occured. — Androphin, Sep 07 '11 at 16:23

Why this is happening?

Because you have a bug in one of your resource files, or perhaps your manifest, that is preventing R.java from being generated. If you are using Eclipse, this error usually appears in the Console tab; if you are building from the command line, you will see a compile error.

You are right. It is awesome! I forgot in to declare a string for an item. It's very painfull that Eclipse don't show any error. – Androphin Sep 07 '11 at 18:25
