Android: onCreateOptionsMenu() item action

Question

I have a menu created through:

  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    menu.add(\"Email\");

    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)         


        

Answer 1

That won't work. You should define IDs for your menu items:

public static final int MENU_ADD = Menu.FIRST;
public static final int MENU_DELETE = Menu.FIRST + 1;

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

    menu.add(Menu.NONE, MENU_ADD, Menu.NONE, "Add");
    menu.add(Menu.NONE, MENU_DELETE, Menu.NONE, "Delete");
    return true;
}

   @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
    {
        switch(item.getItemId())
        {
            case MENU_ADD:

            return true;
        case MENU_DELETE:

            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }
