Is it possible to create a dynamic context menu in android? What I mean is, for example, if I have a list of items, that can be in two states: "read" and "unread". I want to be able to bring up a context menu with an option of "Mark as Read" for the unread items, and "Mark as Unread" for the read items.....

I am trying to manage the options items, making one button visible and another invisible based on whether a background service is active.
Here's a snippet of my menu/option.xml: <item android:id="@+id/arm" android:title="Arm" /> <item android:id="@+id/disarm" android:title="Disarm" android:visible="false" android:enabled="false" /> ......................................
The problem is that the following method gets called one time when the Menu button is pressed: public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) How can I recreate the menu at a later time in order to change some options, disable some options, etc?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using XML file for creating Context Menu for my ListView. (Please see below). I also want to set a header for this Context Menu. I read (at http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg43062.html)that I can use menu.setHeaderTitle(myContextMenuTitle) in onCreateContextMenu Method. But I need to set this in XML file. How can I accomplish this?
Following is code for onCreateContextMenu Method, correct me if I am doing anything wrong. This is my context_menu.xml file:

<item android:id="@+id/open" android:title="Open"/>

I'm getting all kinds of errors when using res/menu/menu_home.xml, and my project won't build. That's when I remembered that there was a way to create menus from java code instead of declaring it via xml. Does someone remember how to do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis maybe against the way the Android team wants this to work, but if not I can't seem to come up with a way to do this. Basically I have a list view that I want to create a ContextMenu when onListItemClick received. So when the user clicks on a list item I want them to choose the action from a ContextMenu. Anyone have an example of how to do this, I can get it to work with no problems with a long press, but my users are missing the menu and just thinking the ListView does nothing.

I wanted to create a static options menu for all my activity screens. I dont want to override onCreateOptionsMenu() in each activity. Since Menu class is an interface with a huge number of methods, its difficult to create a static object of the implementing class.

I'm trying to replicate the MediaPlayer action that happens when you long click a song, then click "Add to playlist" in the resulting contextmenu.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an Options menu up and running in my Android application and I've overridden the onCreateOptionsMenu, onOptionsItemSelected and onPrepareOptionsMenu methods to customize the menu a little. My question is related to keeping the Options menu open after the user clicks on a menu item. Basically, I'd like to be able to hide the menu until the user clicks on the device menu key. Once the user clicks on this key, I'd like to be able to hold the menu in place regardless of how many times the user clicks on menu items. If the user wants to hide the Options menu, they'd just need to click on the device menu key again. Is this type of interaction supported (or even advisable).
