title: menu android not switching activities
body: <p>Well this is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code> @Override
      public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
          inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
          return true;
      }
  
      @Override
      public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
          switch (item.getItemId()) {
              case R.id.news:     
                  Intent j = new Intent(MainScreen.this,LatestNewsScreen.class);
                  startActivity(j);
                                  break;
              default:
                  return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
          }
          return true;
      }
  </code></pre>
