adding menus to black berry application - blackberry

Question

How can I add menus to my black berry application

Answer 1

Assuming your extending the MainScreen it's quite easy! First you'd need to create MenuItem's, this is done like so:
private MenuItem _menuItem1 = new MenuItem("Menu Item 1", 10, 10){
public void run(){
// insert code thats to be done when menu is selected here here
}
};
private MenuItem _menuItem2 = new MenuItem("Menu Item 2", 10, 10){
public void run(){
// insert code thats to be done when menu is selected here here
}
};
Then you'd need to add these to your like which is done like so:
protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance){
menu.add(_menuItem1);
menu.addSeparator();
menu.add(_menuItem2);
}

Answer 3

1.create menu item which you want to add on menu
MenuItem menuItemBack = new MenuItem(new StringProvider("back"), 110, 10) {
public void run() {
Dialog.alert("back");
}
};
MenuItem menuItemFwd = new MenuItem(new StringProvider("Forword"), 110, 10) {
public void run() {
Dialog.alert("forword");
}
};
2.after that you can add these item on menu by using
1.add these item in to Mainscreen constructor.
addMenuItem(menuItemBack);
addMenuItem(menuItemBack);
addMenuItem(MenuItem.separator(110));
addMenuItem(menuItemFwd);
addMenuItem(MenuItem.separator(110));
you can create your custom menu by overriding the makeMenu() method
protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
menu.addMenuItem(menuItemBack);
menu.addMenuItem(menuItemFwd);
};
