But after creating "res\menu\options_menu.xml" and run the application, the result is as follow：


*The code about options_menu.xml is :
, saving correctly!

* The console displayed some error information as :


That is

Can we see your actual Java code implementing the menu?

Hi, I think you'll have to place your xml file containing the menu items in a directory called 'xml', and then use the following code to access it:

XmlPullParser xpp = getResources().getXml(R.xml.celldivisionmenu);
