Menu

In Donation, introduce the following menu event handler:

  1.   @Override
  2.   public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
  3.   {
  4.     switch (item.getItemId())
  5.     {
  6.       case R.id.action_settings: Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Settings Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
  7.                                  toast.show();
  8.                                  break;
  9.     }
  10.     return true;
  11.   }

We already have a menu called ‘donate.xml’ in the res folder. Add a new menu item like the one shown below:

  1. <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
  3.     <item
  4.         android:id="@+id/action_settings"
  5.         android:orderInCategory="100"
  6.         android:showAsAction="never"
  7.         android:title="@string/menuSettings"/>
  9.     <item
  10.         android:id="@+id/menuReport"
  11.         android:orderInCategory="100"
  12.         android:showAsAction="never"
  13.         android:title="@string/menuReport"/>    
  15. </menu>

This will require a new String in the strings.xml file:

  1.     <string name="menuReport">Report</string>

Run the app and when you press the menu hardware button and select ‘settings’, you should see the toast message appear.
