I created an ActionBarActivity test app, which shows the title bar and settings menu ok. I changed extends ActionBarActivity to extends FragmentActivity and the program runs, but the title bar / menu isn't displayed.
I am using swipe tabs with ViewPager in my real app, so extending ActionBarActivity isn't an option.
The question was asked similarly in How to Create option menu in FragmentActivity? - but the answer isn't apparent.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
