default:
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

Right now we just return false in most, which works, but in case of overriding 
and a parent can handle the item, the default/super is better. 

For example see DealDroid code. 

Also callout to making a super class to handle the menu if you need same menu 
on multiple activities?

Please provide any additional information below.

I have tried:
          1) right-click on your project and select "Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties" 

2) right-click on your project and select "Properties -> Java Compiler", check 
"Enable project specific settings" and select 1.6 from "Compiler compliance 
settings" select box.
  3) Deleting the gen directory and having it recreated..

       I am sure it is a quick configuration update but I can not find the solution.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
