Error while making item id!

I don't know why am I getting an error while trying create item in the OnOptionsMenuClosed method.

Here is a screenshot, http://s18.postimg.org/r6bfltg7d/togo.png

In Ben's video, this thing comes up at around 2:50.

You are getting this error because the item you are passing to the OnOptionsMenuClosed method is named "menu" but inside the method the code is referring to it as "item". I believe Ben pulls a fast one and changes menu to item and it is hard to miss. Take a look at the following code and it should make more sense:

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

int itemId = item.getItemId();

}

See the declaration of the variable that is being passed? He changed it to "item" and in your code its listed as "menu". Hopefully that makes sense and helps. Happy Coding!!
