 <p>Strange. I use webview and an options menu, works fine. </p> <p>I don't extend WebView... I extend activity, then config the webview in the XML or add the webview to "content view". </p> <p>Do all the websettings and add my own chromeclient and viewclient to change the functionality of webview.</p> <p>I just switched from adding menus programmatically to using an XML descriptor. So I know it still works.</p> <p>I'm using SDK 7 (2.1.x)</p> <p>If you need to extend webview, post your reasons and some code and hopefully I can help.</p>
