How to add menu item in Blackberry application - blackberry

Question

In my app I would like to create a popup sub-menu. How do I do this?

Answer 1

//Menus: makeMenu Creates the menu and adds the items in Menu
protected void makeMenu( Menu inMenu, int inInstance )
{
inMenu.add(showIt1); //inMenu adds the menuItems
inMenu.add(showIt2);
inMenu.add(showIt3);
super.makeMenu( inMenu, inInstance );
/The class extends MainScreen (net.rim.device.api.ui.container.
MainScreen). As you can probably guess, this is a display class. For
BlackBerry applications, this class provides basic display features, including
supplying a Close menu item. This is achieved by the call to super() in
the constructor./
}
//Creates menuItems
✓"Show It 1": This is the text that the menu item will display.
✓ 50: This ordering parameter determines where in the menu the
item will appear. Lower numbers appear closer to the top of the
menu. In addition, a separator bar is added automatically between two
MenuItems whose ordering values differ by 65536 or more.
✓ 50: This value represents priority, which determines which menu item
is likely to receive the focus. Lower number gets the focus.
MenuItem showIt1 = new MenuItem("Show It 1", 50, 50)
{
public void run()
{
//Do whatever you want
}
};
MenuItem showIt2 = new MenuItem("Show It 2", 100, 100)
{
public void run()
{
//Do whatever you want
}
};
MenuItem showIt3 = new MenuItem("Show It 3", 150, 150)
{
public void run()
{
//Do whatever you want
}
};
//End of Menu Creation

Answer 2

MenuItem mymenu = new MenuItem("Categories" , 100, 10)
{
public void run()
{
//navigation purposes
}
}
Call this in constructor
screen.addMenuItem(mymenu);
