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

Fixed  no need to use a setOnMenuItemClickListener  Just pressing the button  it creates and launches the activity through the intent   Thanks a lot everybody for your help

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

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

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
