Android Question Activity.OpenMenu error

[tonymonaghan]

When run on some android 5 devices my project now gives an error when I use Activity.OpenMenu or when the menu key is pressed. I get the error:-

android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0

I have searched through the forums but can't seem to resolve the problem. All the layout files are still there, do I need any additional resources for android 5?

Here is a full listing of the error report.

Create a new project with a single menu item and see whether this error happens or not.

Problem solved.
I wrote a small program with one menu option and it worked fine. So then after a lot of testing different possibilities found that I didn't have a theme in my manifest, I put in the following line and all was well.

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Holo")

Thanks for your help.

I must use Translucent theme, without title with action bar. Result: Activity.OpenMenu does not run.

Openmenu runs when with title and without actionbar and no translucent theme.

Please start a new thread for this question.

I had problems with OpenMenu using the dark material theme with a phone running CyanogenMod 13. I had to use the light theme and it worked OK. Not found a way to use the dark theme yet. Try different themes and see which work.
