public abstract @interface
OptionsMenu

Class Overview

Use this annotation on a subclass of Screen to specify the menu resource that should be loaded when the user presses the Menu button.

This annotation supports three usage forms:

@OptionsMenu("foo")

This will search for a menu defined in the project's res/menu/foo.xml file. This is the preferred form, since it performs a more advanced search than the numeric "id" form below.

@OptionsMenu(id = R.menu.foo)

This will find the same menu as above, but using the auto-generated numeric ID of the menu resource instead.

@OptionsMenu

When specified without parameters, a lookup based on the name of the class is performed. For example, if the annotation is placed on a class named MyScreen, then this will search for a menu in res/menu/myscreen.xml, followed by res/menu/my_screen.xml.

This annotation must be present for the screen to have an options menu that is automatically loaded from a resource.
