Android Create a simple menu programmatically

Question

I'm trying to create a simple menu with one button that will call a method to clear the array. I don't want to use xml because all I need is one button.

Something like this -

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {     button "Clear Array";     onClick{// run method that wipes array};     return true; } 

Thank you

A--C's method works, but you should avoid setting the click listeners manually. Especially when you have multiple menu items.

I prefer this way:

private static final int MENU_ITEM_ITEM1 = 1; ... @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {     menu.add(Menu.NONE, MENU_ITEM_ITEM1, Menu.NONE, "Item name");     return true; }  @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {     switch (item.getItemId()) {     case MENU_ITEM_ITEM1:         clearArray();         return true;      default:         return false;   } } 

By using this approach you avoid creating unecessary objects (listeners) and I also find this code easier to read and understand.
