Android ActivityGroup Menu Problem

Question

I have one problem using ActivityGroup. I have two activities inside an ActivityGroup and both of them use a menu (overriding the onCreateOptionMen

Answer 1

Another nice way of handling this is by using the ActivityGroup's LocalActivityManager. Get the local activity manager, get the current activity, and perform that activity's appropriate method:

public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    //super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    return getLocalActivityManager().getCurrentActivity()
        .onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    //super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    return getLocalActivityManager().getCurrentActivity()
        .onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
    //super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
    return getLocalActivityManager().getCurrentActivity()
        .onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}

Note: using this strategy, you must not call super.onCreateOptionsMenu from the child activity- doing so causes a stack overflow exception. I'm not sure what the purpose of calling the superclass's on* methods, as I've omitted them and have seen no negative results. (... yet)
