onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) ";" expected?

Hello! I am having some trouble in eclipse. It seems that oh this line: onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) it wants to replace the parenthesis with semicolons, but when I do I just get more and more errors. Any help???

Well that's a weird one! It should definitely have parenthesis! Maybe a syntax error somewhere else in the code is causing you trouble. Sometimes errors earlier in the file have weird consequences later. Can you paste in all your code for us to look at?

To format code, put three backticks and the word "java" in front of it and then three backticks after it, like this:

Example:

```java

String test = "Hi!";

```

gives:

String test = "Hi!";

Hey thanks! I actually put 2 semicolons after one of the fade in animations. :)
