Apps onCreateOptionsMenu weird problem

[ondrovic]

So I wanted to add menu options to the app I am working on. I did a sample app to make sure that I had the logic down and everything worked great. When I added the menu to the real app all I am getting is the menu no other layout.

Here is the code

package com.bestbuymobile;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;

public class Main extends Activity {
    public static String debug = "DEBUG";
    public static boolean dFlag;            ///Debug flag, true=enabled, flase=disabled
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "onCreate Event");
            Log.d(Main.debug, "Checking dFlag state");
        }
        dMsgs();
    }
    public void dMsgs() {
        Main.dFlag = false;
    }
    /*
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "onStart Event");
        }
        //System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);
        //System.exit(0);
    }
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "onResume Event");
        }
        //System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);
        //System.exit(0);
    }
    public void onRestart() {
        super.onRestart();
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "onRestart Event");
        }
        //System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);
        //System.exit(0);
    }
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "onPause Event");
        }
        //System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);
        //System.exit(0);
    }
    public void onStop() {
        super.onStart();
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "onStop Event");
        }
        //System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);
        //System.exit(0);
    }
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "onDestroy: Exiting Application");
        }
        System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);
        System.exit(0);
    }
    */
    public void single_clicked(View view) {
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "Single Plan Button Clicked");
        }
        startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Single.class));
    }
    public void multi_clicked(View view) {
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "Multi Plan Button Clicked");
        }
        startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Multi.class));
    }
    public void data_clicked(View view) {
        if(Main.dFlag) {
            Log.d(Main.debug, "Data Plans Button Clicked");
        }
        startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Data.class));
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.layout.main_menu, menu);
        return true;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.feedback:
            return true;
        case R.id.about:
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        return true;
    }
}

Here is my main_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item
        android:id="@+id/feedback"
        android:title="Sumbit Feedback" />
    
    <item
        android:id="@+id/about"
        android:title="Program Info" />

</menu>

Did I screw up when adding the code to make the menu? I just don't understand why I can get it working in a sample 1 class app but not in this one.

Thanks for the help
