Android Menu

Has anyone figured out how to make a drop down menu for android? Using Processing 2.0.1

Do you mean a menu from pressing the menu button on the phone? or a custom gui element that you would build from scratch?

If it's the former, check here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html

it looks like there are two methods you can override to both add a menu and react to a menu selection:

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);
        return true;
    }

and to react to an option selection:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle item selection
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
            case R.id.new_game:
                newGame();
                return true;
            case R.id.help:
                showHelp();
                return true;
            default:
                return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }

Hope this helps! ak

Not sure where the link came from, should just be @Override
