In this tutorial we shall be covering Android's MenuItem and Menu API with the help
of an example.

Final screen of this Images Merge example would look like the below image:
















In the following section I shall be covering through various files I coded/used
to get this example working. This example has only two views such as Main Layout and
the Menu Layout from Android API.

Following is the main layout of this example.

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#FFFFFF"
    >
    <TextView android:id="@+id/text" 
              android:text="Menu Example - Touch this text for slightly
long time to see the context menu options."
              android:textColor="#0000FF"
              android:textStyle="bold"
              android:textSize="12px"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />
    <SurfaceView android:background="#FFFFFF"
                 android:layout_height="200dp" 
                 android:layout_width="200dp"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/text1" android:text=""
              android:textColor="#000000"
              android:textStyle="bold"
              android:textSize="12px"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />
    
</LinearLayout>




menulayout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:id="@+id/menuItem1"
        android:title="Menu Item1"
        android:icon="@drawable/m1">
        
  </item>
  <item android:id="@+id/menuItem2"
        android:title="Menu Item2">
  </item>
</menu>




MenuExample.java

package com.techienjoy.example;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ContextMenu;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MenuExample extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        TextView txtView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
        registerForContextMenu(txtView);
    }
    @Override
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, 
                                    ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
        super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
        
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.layout.menulayout, menu);
        menu.findItem(R.id.menuItem1).setIcon(R.drawable.m1);
        menu.findItem(R.id.menuItem2).setIcon(R.drawable.m2);
     }
    
    @Override
    public boolean onContextItemSelected (MenuItem item) {
        super.onContextItemSelected(item);
        
        TextView txtView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text1);
        txtView.setText(item.getTitle());
        return true;
    }
    
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        
        MenuItem m1 = menu.add(0, 1, Menu.FIRST, "Menu 1");
        m1.setIcon(R.drawable.m1);

        MenuItem m2 = menu.add(0, 2, 0, "Menu 2");
        m2.setIcon(R.drawable.m2);

        return true;
    }

}
