menuitem

ok, in menu.add, you add an integer menuitem id.

But when you specify the menu in xml, @+id can't take an integer, so you can't test the id for the menu item as an integer in a switch statement.

What obvious thing am I missing, because surely an inconsistency this bone-stupid couldn't have passed muster with all those wonderful geniuses at Google.

on top of that, when I give the menu item a name like "@+id/myMenuItem", item.getItemId() returns an integer, a long one, which I guess is a representation of the hex pointer.
