How can I create an android menu item using android setting icon

Question

Can you please tell me how can I create an android menu item using android setting icon?

Answer 1

Here is a list of the standard icons. I don't see a "settings" icon. Perhaps you mean "Preferences" (ic_menu_preferences)?

You can set the icon programmatically like this:

menu.add(0, MENU_QUIT, 0, "Quit").setIcon(R.drawable.menu_quit_icon); 

You can also set it in your xml layout like this:

<item android:id="@+id/save_button"       android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_save"       android:title="Save Image"/>

Answer 2

You can see all the icons in the android SDK forder:

_your_install_path_\android-sdk\platforms\android-10\data\res\drawable-hdpi\ 

and then get a reference to them with:

android.R.drawable.ic_menu_preferences 

just like it was your drawable.
