Eclipse / Android错误：不允许使用字符串类型

Question

I have an options_menu.xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/search"
      android:title="@string/search_title"
      android:icon="@drawable/ic_search"
      android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|ifRoom"
      android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>

When I do a project -> clean or a build, I get an error:

String types not allowed (at 'showAsAction' with value 'collapseActionView|ifRoom')

I cannot figure out what is wrong. My target SDK version is 11. Does anybody know what is causing this?

Thanks, Igor

Answer 1

Remove collapseActionView It is introduced from Api Level 14 and your level is 11.Remove it try.hope it will work.

Here you can check it.

Answer 2

I solved my own issue. According to the docs, collapseActionView was introduced in API level 14. So I just had to change my target SDK version. More here: Menu Resource
