I am new to Android development by using PhoneGap, I try to build an options menu through a tutorial from http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html, but it always gave error messages like below:
[2011-12-20 16:45:28 - HelloPhoneGap] W/ResourceType(23444): Bad XML block: header size >84 or total size 0 is larger than data size 0 [2011-12-20 16:45:28 - HelloPhoneGap] C:..\workspace\HelloPhoneGap\res\menu\menu.xml:3: >error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'title' with value >'@string/new_game'). [2011-12-20 16:45:28 - HelloPhoneGap] C:..\workspace\HelloPhoneGap\res\menu\menu.xml:5: >error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'title' with value >'@string/help').
Here is console code:
package com.phonegap.helloworld;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.phonegap.*;
public class App extends DroidGap {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/jqm/index.htm");
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle item selection
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.new_game:
newGame();
return true;
case R.id.help:
showHelp();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode,KeyEvent event){
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU) {
return false;
}else{
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
}
menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/new_game"
android:title="@string/new_game" />
<item android:id="@+id/help"
android:title="@string/help" />
</menu>
Did anybody tell what cause the errors?
Thanks a lot!
After define string in string.xml, the error gone away but I've meet new errors like below

you must have define Strings new_game
in values like
<resources>
<string name="new_game">Your String</string>
<string name="help">Your String</string>
</resources>
refer this
You can create values xml file -If you are using eclipse then right click on the project and select other and there select android xml file,then given window select resource type as value,
