title: options menu - removing focus from item
body: <p>how do I remove focus from options menu item? I.e. when I open the menu for the first time, none of the items has focus. however, if I focus on one of them using track ball, and then close and re-open the menu the focus is still there. How do I get rid of it?</p>
  
  <p>I am clearing and recreating the menu in <code>onPrepareOptionsMenu</code> (as I have to adjust it to the current activity state).</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
      menu.clear();
  
      MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
  
      return true;
  }
  </code></pre>
