Android Create a simple menu programmatically

Question

I\'m trying to create a simple menu with one button that will call a method to clear the array. I don\'t want to use xml because all I need is one button.

Something like

Answer 1

Something like this might work:

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  MenuItem item = menu.add ("Clear Array");
  item.setOnMenuItemClickListener (new OnMenuItemClickListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onMenuItemClick (MenuItem item){
      clearArray();
      return true;
    }
  });
  return true;
}

Menu gives us a handy method, add(), which allows you to add a MenuItem. So we make one. Then we assign an OnMenuItemClickListener to the MenuItem and override its onMenuItemClick() to do what we want it to do.
