onCreateOptionsMenu is not called

I have simple application.

Here is MyActivity.java

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
    /**
     * Called when the activity is first created.
     */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }
}

And I don't really understand why method onCreateOptionsMenu is called on phone and is not called on tablet?

Solution

  • there is concept called ActionBar from API 11, so option menu is not use for tablet version.
