I'm new to android development. I created a new project with android studio default project template, Navigation Drawer Activity.
I added debug message as follow:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
MenuItem navCamera = menu.findItem(R.id.nav_camera);
if(navCamera != null) {
Log.d("MainActivity", "Not null");
}
return true;
}
Why I can't get the menu item object?
