[android help] initLoader() and onCreateOptionsMenu() threading issue

I am fetching some data from SQLite in a Fragment using a CursorLoader. The initLoader() for this is executed in onActivityCreated()...

public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements LoaderCallbacks
{
    MenuItem menuItemOne;

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater)
    {
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.myMenu, menu);
        menuItemOne = menu.findItem(R.id.menuItemOne);
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoadFinished(Loader loader, Cursor cursor)
    {
        menuItemOne.doSomething();
    }
}

The above code is simplified for ease of reading. Here is my problem...

• On a Nexus S, there is no problem.


• On a Nexus 7, a null pointer arises in onLoadFinished. menuItemOne is null here.

The Nexus S is using Android 4.1.2 and the Nexus 7 is using Android 4.2.2.

• Should I be running initLoader() elsewhere?


• Do you think there is a bug/difference in the Android versions?
