[android-developers] Re: Showing the options menu

2008-11-04 Thread Mark Wyszomierski 

Hmm seeing as how this is not working, is there a way to inject a menu
button key press to get the menu to come up?

Thanks

 Hi,

 How can we programatically show the options menu for an Activity? It
 seems:

 Activity.openOptionsMenu()

 would do it, but it has no effect when I call it. I put a break point
 in onPrepareOptionsMenu() expecting it to be called sometime
 afterwards, but nothing in there either. I'm using the release windows
 Android SDK. Is there some special method of calling it?

 Sorry if this is a repeat, I thought I had posted this question
 earlier but I cannot seem to find it any long to follow up on it,

 Thanks

Thanks Jason, that was it, I wasn't posting the call to be run later -
I just was using it in a button click handler directly like:

void onClick()
{
openOptionsMenu();
}

so posting the call worked,

Thanks

 Hey Mark,

 Could you describe your scenario a little bit more?

 Testing openOptionsMenu in MenuInflateFromXml worked, add to the end of
 onCreate:

         new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 openOptionsMenu();
             }
         }, 1000);

Hmm, posting the call should only be necessary from onCreate (and the extra
delay was only there for visual effect :) ).

If you have time, could you please open a bug about the it not working
unless you post it?

Thanks!
