Error in options menu function - Kotlin - please help

Question

What about that options menu function? Options menu error - kotlin - please help

Dear community

I am a kotlin-beginner and learning since 3 months. Right now, I am dealing with the options-menu onclick functions (or something like that) I've created an options menu and now I want to just implement an "on options menu item select" onclick listener which wil show these single fragments when the item in the options is clicked.

I dont't know what to do with these functions. For what exactly do I need these functions? What should be in these functions?
Please help, I am dealing with these errors since 3 weeks. Thank you all for every single piece of help. I got the starter-Code from the android developer-website.

Answer 1

it must be inside an activity (settings _screen) which is child of preference fragment
So you could create
This kind of code
```kt
fun startoptionsmenufeedback(item : MenuItem){
startActivity(Intent(this, THE_ACTIVITY_WHERE_SETTING_SCREEN_IS_LOCATED::class.java))
}

```

Answer 2

Tech have you create a function called `startoptionsmenuhelp()`
if not this is the error

And also the other error I got is instead of returning before(outside) if conditions `super.onOptionItemSelected(item)`
You should return it inside if condition

"What exactly should be in these function"
Tech Umm, let me guess what you are thinking ... I guess you where expecting `startoptionsmenu...` declared(created) by them selves in your project but No, they are not. You can just take your screenshot as reference it show you red coloured these function is not writtened (created) either in ide or your selve any where
So where did you find the course it is difnetiley useful for taking the error, if you have the link give
sorry if I made my languge hard

Answer 4

Yeah but actually I need to know what actually that do for example we could create a function like
```
fun startoptionsmenufeedback(item MenuItems){
Intent(this, ThatActivity::class.java).apply{
startActivity(this)
}
}
//if you have created an activity called That Activity it will start it
```
Or you may create
```
fun startoptionsmenufeedback(item : MenuItem){
Toast.makeText(this,"starting feedback items" , Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
//this could create a toast
}
```
all meant is, it depend on what you actually want perform on that function

So, it is impossible to fill the code unless I know what your idea is

Ananiya Jemberu ok, thank you. Can you please help me by fill the Code in this function? I've created it after I saw, that Android Studio suggested to create that function.

I want to open my settings_screen.xml which is located in the app\src\main\res\xml (if this information is nessesary)
Followed a html Code which shows the settings_screen.xml file:
