How to add a menu folder to the res folder of an android studio project

Question

I want to add a menu to my Android project and I created a menu folder inside the res folder, but got the error:

cannot resolve symbol 'menu'.

I was following an Android developers tutorial Menus | Android Developers

I will leave a screenshot of my project here: project

And here is the code:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

game_menu.xml:

game_menu.xml

Answer 1

在 Android Studio 上的菜单 Build 中尝试清理和重建项目后。

Answer 2

Is that how you created it? you should try.

Res -> new -> Android Resource Directory -> Resource Type (Menu) -> Ok

Answer 3

Try to put it into one line of code like: getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);

First of all it is nicer coding I belive and that way we can be sure that the MenuInfalter is working. I have looked it up in my project and it is the same way there + working. If that does not help please share your game_menu.xml.

Answer 4

Use this code in your game_menu.xml :

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

        <item
           android:id="@+id/action_settings"
           android:orderInCategory="75"
           android:title="my menu Item!"
           app:showAsAction="never"/>
