Handling a Menu Item Click Event - Android

Question

Simple code for creating menu.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

Simple code for menu item selection

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle item selection
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.new_game:
        newGame();
        return true;
    case R.id.help:
        showHelp();
        return true;
    default:
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Menus

Menu resource

Add Following Code

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.new_item:
        Intent i = new Intent(this,SecondActivity.class);
            this.startActivity(i);
            return true;
    default:
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Menu items file looks like

res/menu/menu_main.xml

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/settings"
        android:title="Setting"
        app:showAsAction="never" />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/my_activity"
        android:title="My Activity"
        app:showAsAction="always"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/btn_radio"/>
</menu>

Java code looks like

src/MainActivity.java

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int id = item.getItemId();

      if (id == R.id.my_activity) {
            Intent intent1 = new Intent(this,MyActivity.class);
            this.startActivity(intent1);
            return true;
        }

        if (id == R.id.settings) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Setting", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

And add following code to your AndroidManifest.xml file

<activity
            android:name=".MyActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
        </activity>

I hope it will help you.

in addition to the options shown in your question, there is the possibility of implementing the action directly in your xml file from the menu, for example:

<item
   android:id="@+id/OK_MENU_ITEM"
   android:onClick="showMsgDirectMenuXml" />

And for your Java (Activity) file, you need to implement a public method with a single parameter of type MenuItem, for example:

 private void showMsgDirectMenuXml(MenuItem item) {
    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "OK", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    toast.show();
  }

NOTE: This method will have behavior similar to the onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item)

This code is work for me

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    int id = item.getItemId();

     if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
  // add your action here that you want
        return true;
    }

    else if (id==R.id.login)
     {
         // add your action here that you want
     }


    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
