@Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected ( MenuItem item ) { Log . d ( TAG , "onOptionsItemSelected()" ); switch ( item . getItemId ()) { case android . R . id . home : finish (); return true ; case R . id . menu_item_comment : return true ; default : return super . onOptionsItemSelected ( item ); } } Use OnOptionItemSelected method in your app activity that gives you facility to open activity via click on option menu

Hi, You have to override onOptionsItemSelected method in your Activity, which is called when user clicks on the item in Options menu. In the method you can check what item has been clicked. @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch(item.getItemId()) { case R.id.menu_item1: Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityForItemOne.class); this.startActivity(intent); break; case R.id.menu_item2: // another startActivity, this is for item with id "menu_item2" break; default: return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } return true; } Also, don't forget to add that activity in androidmainifest file.
