But it doesn't work. The optionsMenu are still there no matter which fragment is activated. (The currentPage in the code is always changed when switching tabs.)
The way you want to have an options menu in a particular tab fragment is not creating the options menu in the activity then hide/show it.
Instead of calling onCreateOptionsMenu() inside the Activity, call onCreateOptionsMenu() inside a fragment:
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
}
and don't forget to add this
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
to the fragment.
