Your already have the autogenerated file res/menu/menu.xml defining action_settings.
In your MainActivity.java have the following methods:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id) {
case R.id.action_settings:
// do stuff, like showing settings fragment
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); // important line
}
In the onCreateView() method of your Fragment call:
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
and also add these 2 methods:
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_menu, menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id) {
case R.id.action_1:
// do stuff
return true;
case R.id.action_2:
// do more stuff
return true;
}
return false;
}
Finally, add the new file res/menu/fragment_menu.xml defining action_1 and action_2.
This way when your app displays the Fragment, its menu will contain 3 entries:
