I am trying to setup a menu programatically and my method gets com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu as a parameter. As I want to change the styling of the menu item I am trying to setup a SpannableString spannable and pass it to add.
menu.add(0, MENU_ABOUT, 0, spannable);
This is causing a crash only in ICS when I cick that menu item. Any ideas if I am missing something.
Thanks
Here is the code I am trying and it crashes when I run the app and select "About Application". FYI, I am using SpannableString because I want to add some styling and color to the menu item. The crash does NOT happen if I use a regular string, but then I cant do styling
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu)
{
SpannableString spannable = new SpannableString("About Application");
menu.add(0, MENU_ABOUT, 0, spannable);
return true;
}
Here is the stack trace:
