Android Option Menu on Button click

Question

I am trying to show the Option menu on button click.How can I do this can anyone tell me.

Answer 1

You can use openOptionsMenu to programmatically open the options menu.

If you have a Button, you can do:

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {     @Override     public void onClick(View v) {         openOptionsMenu();     } }); 

or else set android:onClick="myOnClickMethod" on your Button in xml and then have:

public myOnClickMethod(View v) {     openOptionsMenu(); } 

in your activity.
