That's actually the most straightforward answer to the question :-D – tiguchi Oct 28 '13 at 15:37
I tried `@Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { item.setVisible(false); System.out.println("MENU ITEM : DISABLED"); return true; }` This code is never executed – master_Alish Oct 28 '13 at 15:46
you should remove both methods. – Dima Oct 28 '13 at 15:49
There were no this methods. – master_Alish Oct 28 '13 at 15:54

Set your android:targetSdkVersion to 14 or higher. See also the "Say Goodbye to the Menu Button" post from the Android Developers Blog.

You can override these methods, if removing them didn't work for you.

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu (Menu menu){
// do nothing here. Leave it as it is.
}

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item){
// do nothing here. 
}
