I want to change my menu dynamically, so I tried this but my app crash :

To get my menu in all my activity :

private Menu menu;

Then in onCreateOptionsMenu before return statement:

this.menu = menu;

And then in a function : 

MenuItem parent = menu.findItem(R.id.parent_menu);
parent.setTitle("test");

Crashing... I founded the same answer I did : Android - How to dynamically change menu item text outside of onOptionsItemsSelected or onCreateOptionsMenu but for me, not working.

Thanks in advance

PS : If MenuItem parent and setTitle are in commentary, it's works fine.

So the problem is onCreateOptionsMenu is called only when I want to view the menu for the first time... How can I call it before ?

  • Oh sorry, I edited my post, and if you find the error, can you tell me how did you do to "decrypt" the logcat ? Thanks – Shinao Apr 20 '12 at 15:04
  • So the problem is onCreateOptionsMenu is called only when I want to view the menu for the first time... How can I call it before ? – Shinao Apr 20 '12 at 16:20
  • check line no. 133 of AddWebsiteActivity.java ,,,tell me... – Samir Mangroliya Apr 20 '12 at 16:54
  • Line 133 : MenuItem parent = menu.findItem(R.id.parent_menu); ... But I know what the problem is : I can't do this.menu = menu; in onCreateOptionsMenu() because this function is called the first time I click on the touch menu, so if I don't at the beginning, my app crash... How I can call it programmaly ? – Shinao Apr 20 '12 at 17:55
  • something is null ....i mean menu is null try to youractivity.this.name.menu and get value it check `if(menu!=null) and also check before create menu you try use it!!!` – Samir Mangroliya Apr 20 '12 at 18:02
  • I know, menu is null because menu is initialized the first time I open the menu option, but I don't do it... (Read my commentary). My solution is to do that : openOptionsMenu(); closeOptionsMenu(); And then menu is not null, but this is ugly and I will love an other way. – Shinao Apr 20 '12 at 22:32

You must inflate the menu before setting it to your variable;

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_visit_profile, menu);
    mOptionsMenu = menu;
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

And then you can use it.

MenuItem item = mOptionsMenu.findItem(R.id.visit_profile_hi);
item.setTitle("Remover hi");
