Not available

Question

I create Optionmenu, for this I use the Android Android resource. But I can’t access them, which I’m doing wrong. What do i need to change?

Here is the code of my menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:id="@+id/Videos" android:icon="@android/drawable/ic_menu_view" android:title="Videos" /> <item android:id="@+id/Bio" android:icon="@android/drawable/ic_menu_friendlist" android:title="Biographie" /> <item android:id="@+id/Support" android:icon="@android/drawable/ic_menu_star" android:title="Support" /> </menu> 

Thank you for your help in advance!

Answer 1

You are almost right, when accessing infrastructure resources, you need a prefix of the android: resource type, since you are using the android package Here. This means that it should not be

 android:icon="@android/drawable/ic_menu_view" 

but

 android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_view" 

instead (note the colon between the android and drawable instead of the forward slash).

---

Also note that you cannot access some resources, as they are not publicly available, for example ic_menu_star , which you use here. You must copy them into your projects with the ability to create folders, which means that after that you should access them through the usual @drawable/ic_menu_star . See this question for reference.

Answer 2

try:

 android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_view" 

instead:

 android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_view" 

Answer 3

Try the following:

 <item android:id="@+id/Videos" android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_view" android:title="Videos" /> <item android:id="@+id/Bio" android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_friendlist" android:title="Biographie" /> <item android:id="@+id/Support" android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_star" android:title="Support" /> 

I think @ android / drawable / is incorrect. Instead, you should use @ drawable /
