Option Menu Binding

Steven Lewi edited this page Apr 9, 2015 · 1 revision

@OptionMenu can be used to automatically inflate option menu of your Activities and Fragments. Put this Annotation on the top of Activity/Fragment class.
@OnMenuItemSelected can be used to bind menu item click/select listener (onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item))

See this example below.

Common Activity Menu Inflater

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Inflate Option Menu with Annotation

@ContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
@OptionMenu(R.menu.menu_main)
public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onContentViewCreated() {
    }

    @OnMenuItemSelected(R.id.action_settings)
    public void openSettingsPage() {
        // open settings page
    }
}

How's about that?. It's more simple and save your time.

note : @OptionMenu and @OnMenuItemSelected can be applied to Fragment same way as Activity.
