How to get menues working

[ssteidte]

What is the best way to create a menu? 

With recent Ruboto versions I have code like

class MyActivity

  def on_create(bundle)

    ...

  end

  def def on_create_options_menu(menu)

    ...

  end

end

... but no menu is created. on_create_menu_options doesn't seem to get called at all this way.

Hi!

Have you tried the menu tutorial?

I noticed a double "def" in your example, but that is probably just a typo in the email.

I think the problem is that onCreateOptionsMenu gets called before the app starts, and won't get called again (on versions of the OS that have the ActionBar).

Have your initial activity's onCreate open up a new activity and then call finish.

This does the trick.

(using the InFileActivity example from https://github.com/ruboto/ruboto/blob/master/test/activity/navigation_activity.rb). Thanks!
