In other words, what is the rationale behind Android lacking something like an android.view.MenuItem.OnFocusChangeListener, while there does exist an android.view.View.OnFocusChangeListener? After all, the ListView - which is functionally not all that different from a Menu - supports both a setOnFocusChangeListener() and a setOnItemClickListener (). Why was Menu not designed as a subclass of View such that it would have naturally inherited the listeners? Android currently seems to lack some key functionality for accessibility.
