Action Item Submenus about actionbarsherlock HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

could you post some example code that uses submenus? I'm unable to create them programmatically or through a xml menu resource.

edit: I forgot to mention I'm trying to create them on a phone. Is this possible?

Thanks!

The 'styled' sample contains two submenus which are created from a menu XML. Here is a snippet of one of them:

<item android:id="@+id/menu_nav" android:title="@string/action_label_nav">
    <menu>
        <group android:id="@+id/menu_nav_group" android:checkableBehavior="single">
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_nav_tabs" android:title="@string/action_label_nav_tabs" android:checked="true" />
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_nav_drop_down" android:title="@string/action_label_nav_drop_down" />
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_nav_label" android:title="@string/action_label_nav_label" />
        </group>
    </menu>
</item>

The <group> tag is only utilized here because the sub-menu items are all checkable.

Creating the above menu prorgammatically would start something like this:

public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    SubMenu subMenu = menu.addSubMenu(0, R.id.menu_nav, 0, R.string.action_label_nav);
    subMenu.addItem(0, R.id.menu_nav_tabs, 0, R.string.action_label_nav_tabs);
    subMenu.addItem(0, R.id.menu_nav_drop_down, 0, R.string.action_label_nav_drop_down);
    subMenu.addItem(0, R.id.menu_nav_label, 0, R.string.action_label_nav_label);
}

In this example I use R attributes for the ids and titles but you may use literal numbers and strings as well.

Thank you!

On a tablet, this works great, but I'm unable to get it working on pre-3.0 devices, so I'm guessing it's just for tablets.

Hola, como puedo hacer que al hacer touch en un item se despliegue una lista ??

from actionbarsherlock.

Como se puede hacer el siguiente menú por código sin usar un layout.xml.
Translate:
Can this be done straight through Java or must I use layout.xml?

<item
android:icon="@drawable/menu"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom">
<menu android:id="@+id/menuopciones">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/vivo"
        android:title="VIVO"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"    
        android:icon="@drawable/vivoon"
    />

    <item
        android:title="VOD"
        android:id="@+id/vod"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"    
        android:icon="@drawable/vodon"
    />

    <item
        android:title="RPVR"
        android:id="@+id/npvr"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"        
        android:icon="@drawable/npvron"        
    />

</menu>
