onCreateOptionsMenu is not doing anything for me

I'm totally stuck why this is happening. The options menu was working just fine, but now it's no longer working.

When I hit the menu button, the menu opens, I tap it and nothing. It does register the MenuItem when I do my LogCat... I'm seriously going to pull my hair, I don't understand why this is happening.

06-06 22:19:07.899: DEBUG/MYTAG(23124): Stupid clicker id=save settings item id=2133000192 id2=2133065728

Below is the code and xml

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.settings, menu);
        Log.d("MYTAG", "Clicked saved1");
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }



@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
        Log.d("MYTAG", "Stupid clicker id="+item+" item id="+item.getItemId()+" id2="+R.mainmenuSettings.save1);
        switch(item.getItemId()){
        case R.mainmenuSettings.save1:
            Log.d("MYTAG", "Stupid clicker");
            break;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item   android:id="@+mainmenuSettings/save1"
            android:title="save settings"/>
</menu>

Solution

There's an error in your menu XML. The "id" attribute needs to start with "@+id/", so this needs to be "@+id/mainmenuSettingsSave1" or something similar. Also, you'll need to reference this in your code as R.id.mainmenuSettingsSave1:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/mainmenuSettingsSave1"
          android:title="save settings"/>
</menu>

and

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.settings, menu);
    Log.d("MYTAG", "Clicked saved1");
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}



@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
    Log.d("MYTAG", "Stupid clicker id="+item+" item id="+item.getItemId()+" id2="+R.id.mainmenuSettingsSave1);
    switch(item.getItemId()){
    case R.id.mainmenuSettingsSave1:
        Log.d("MYTAG", "Stupid clicker");
        break;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
