Whenever I click "Edit Friends" in the action bar menu the Dialog for choosing media shows up

I can't figure out what is going on, whenever I click on the action bar "Edit Friends" button the dialog for choosing media shows up for a second and then the app goes to the actual Edit Friends fragment.

Here are my project files: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24445885/Ribbit.zip

If I comment out these lines:

    ```java
                    case R.id.action_camera:
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setItems(R.array.camera_choices, mDialogListener);
        AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
        dialog.show();
    }```

It doesn't happen but that is not exactly a solution

That would be in the onOptionsItemSelected method inside MainActivity.

switch(itemId) {
 ... 
    case R.id.action_edit_friends:
         // do stuff
    break;
    case R.id.action_camera:
        ....
    break;
}

I can't get into your zip file for some reason ... anyway, have you got a break after your switch case options? If not, it may execute them all.
