Menus

Background

• Android apps can have 2 different types of menu:
  • Options menu (appears at the bottom of the screen when you press the menu button - ie. application global menus)
  • Context menu (appears when you tap-and-hold on a UI element - ie. menus relevant to the context of the item selected)
• All menus defined in XML
• Override onCreateContextMenu/onContextItemSelected or onCreateOptionsMenu/onOptionsItemSelected
• Use the ID (specified in the XML menu definition) to identify which menu item was selected

Example Code

Checkout the Menus folder.
