title: Launch an activity from a menu button?
body: <p>I've making an app and I want to launch a new activity from a menu, but ever time I click the menu button, the app crashes. I've tried many ways and all of the have failed.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  new MenuInflater(getApplication())
          .inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
  
  
  return(super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu));
  }
  @Override
  public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
   switch (item.getItemId()) {
     case R.id.Menu1:          
      Toast.makeText(this, "Coming soon", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      break;
     case R.id.Menu2:
         Intent Intent = new Intent(this, About.class);
         startActivity(Intent);
  
  
   }
  return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
  }
  }
