Menu items should specify a title（解决方法）

Just a wrong XML namespace! Try with: <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> </menu> And as G.T. suggested you should consider using appcompat on the showAsAction property (only needed if you want to support API < 11): <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <item android:id="@+id/item1" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" android:title="@string/Add_New" /> </menu> Note: The appcompat library is compatible with some old Android versions (API 7+) that can't handle the showAsAction property because they don't have the ActionBar (API < 11). share improve this answer edited Jan 27 '15 at 10:50 answered  Jan 27 '15 at 10:35 Gorcyn 1,988 1 11 19
