ABS to AppCompat

Question

I am trying now to change ABS actionbar to AppCompat. I need to force the following code, whitch works fine with SherlockFragment, to work in android.support.v4.app.Fragment. I need to add custom view into Menu. How can I do this right in android.support.v4.app.Fragment?

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
    menu.clear();
    View view = getLayoutInflater(getArguments()).inflate(R.layout.some_custom_layout, null);
    menu.add("ITEM").setActionView(view).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
}

Answer 1

Instead of

void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater)

and use

void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)

then change

menu.add("ITEM").setActionView(view).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);

to

MenuItem menuItem = menu.add("SWITCHER");
MenuItemCompat.setActionView(menuItem, view);
MenuItemCompat.setShowAsAction(menuItem, MenuItemCompat.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
