ListActivity is not deprecated. Please post your code for RecipientsActivity.java. The developer docs will explain how to setup the options menu in code here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html

Make sure you are implemented the onCreateOptionsMenu method, and the onOptionsItemSelected method.

Hi Wesley, Thank you for your answer. Yes, I have implemented these methods..I did the Ribbit project exactly as Ben, but the problem is that by extending ListActivity, I have no menus. I need "List" and "menu" both in this activity.. Can anyone help?..
