Action Bar s onClick listener for the Home button

Question

How can I implement a custom onClickListener for the Home button of the Action Bar   I already did a getSupportActionBar   setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled true   and now I want to redirect the user to a certain activity in case the Home button is clicked   I tried with    Override     public boolean onOptionsItemSelected MenuItem item            switch  item getItemId              case android R id home              item setOnMenuItemClickListener new OnMenuItemClickListener                     public boolean onMenuItemClick MenuItem item                        Intent i   new Intent                        i setClass BestemmingActivity this  StartActivity class                       i setFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP                       startActivity i                       return true                                            default              return super onOptionsItemSelected item                     but it never enters in the onMenuItemClick   Basically  it s done just like in this link but still it doesn t enter in the listener

You need to explicitly enable the home action if running on ICS. From the docs:

Note: If you're using the icon to navigate to the home activity, beware that beginning with Android 4.0 (API level 14), you must explicitly enable the icon as an action item by calling setHomeButtonEnabled(true) (in previous versions, the icon was enabled as an action item by default).

I use the actionBarSherlock  after we set supportActionBar setHomeButtonEnabled true   we can override the onMenuItemSelected method    Override public boolean onMenuItemSelected int featureId  MenuItem item         int itemId   item getItemId        switch  itemId        case android R id home          toggle                Toast makeText this   home pressed   Toast LENGTH LONG  show            break              return true      I  hope this work for you     good luck

you should to delete your the Override onOptionsItemSelected and replate your onCreateOptionsMenu with this code   Override     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu Menu menu               Inflate the menu  this adds items to the action bar if it is present          getMenuInflater   inflate R menu menu action bar finish order stop  menu           menu getItem 0  setOnMenuItemClickListener new FinishOrderStopListener this  getApplication    selectedChild            return true
