MenuItems aren't Views. I mean that literally: MenuItem is an interface, not a subclass of View. Hence, to find a MenuItem, you don't call findViewById(). Instead, you need to hold onto the Menu you populated in onCreateOptionsMenu() and call findItem() on it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
