Change menu text android

Question

I have a string that i get from asynctask, i would like to set that string as title of menu item in actionbar.

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        this.menu = menu;

        if (menu!= null) {
               menu.findItem(R.id.azzera).setVisible(false);
            }

        MenuItem giornataItem = menu.findItem(R.id.giornata);
        giornataItem.setTitle(giornataTitle);

        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

    /* Called whenever we call invalidateOptionsMenu() */
    @Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // If the nav drawer is open, hide action items related to the content view

        MenuItem giornataItem = menu.findItem(R.id.giornata);
        giornataItem.setTitle(giornataTitle);

        return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

OnPrepareOptionsMenu works fine, when i change fragment or drawernav is open the title is still correct, but onCreateOptionsMenu does not set the title on application start because in that moment the string is null, because it's called before asynctask. How can i set that string as title?

call asynctask while create menu

    String tital=new Asynctask().execute("").get();

    MenuItem giornataItem = menu.findItem(R.id.giornata);
    giornataItem.setTitle(tital);

if you are talking about making a string to tital of your activity

then call

 String tital=new Asynctask().execute("").get();
 setTitle(tital);

 setContentView(R.layout.MainActivity);

Calling invalidateOptionsMenu() in onPostTaskExecute of AsyncTask did the trick, thank you!
