Problems with menus

[PeterPetSil]

Hi!

I got stucked at updating the activity on resume.

I'm using PreferenceActivity lib to handle user settings.

So, when settings are closed, I want to redraw user interface within Activity_Resume.

My code:

Sub Activity_Resume
     Activity_RemoveAllViews
     Activity_Create (False)
End Sub

Everything works fine (Labels, text boxes, etc), except Menus. Menus are not changing at all. When I change the orientation of my device, the menus change to the correct version (depends on settings).

I'm adding menus in Activity_Create sub:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

     ' Some initializations...
     '
     '

     Activity.AddMenuItem2("Info","MenuInfo",IconInfo)
End Sub

What am I missing?

Peter

I dont think it is possible to change the menus once they are added.
It probably works on orientation change because the activity is destroyed and recreated. Maybe you can try to finish and re-start the activity.

But there has to be a way, to remove them, right? If there isn't.... :BangHead:

There is not. Just have a search of the forum.

At the current point, however using Menus is not standard practice anymore.
I am not sure how it works, but the new B4A supports the overflow menu which I think adds menus in the same way with AddMenuItem, so I think thats a no-go if you want to modify menus.
Try using AHQuickActions, ICSMenuPopup or some other way to displaying the menu.
