Add OptionsMenu to Toolbar

Modify from last example of "Set title, subtitle and logo of Toolbar", to add OptionsMenu to Toolbar.


Create /res/menu/menu_main.xml to define our OptionsMenu.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu 
 >
 <item
 android_id="@+id/menu_camera"
 android_icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_camera"
 android_orderInCategory="100"
 android_title="camera"
 app_showAsAction="always"/>
 <item
 android_id="@+id/menu_compass"
 android_icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_compass"
 android_orderInCategory="100"
 android_title="compass"
 app_showAsAction="always"/>
 <item
 android_id="@+id/menu_agenda"
 android_icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_agenda"
 android_orderInCategory="100"
 android_title="agenda"
 app_showAsAction="always"/>
 <item
 android_id="@+id/menu_gallery"
 android_icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
 android_orderInCategory="100"
 android_title="gallery"
 app_showAsAction="always"/>
 <item
 android_id="@+id/menu_calendar"
 android_icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_my_calendar"
 android_orderInCategory="100"
 android_title="calendar"
 app_showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>

Modify MainActivity.java, override onCreateOptionsMenu() and onOptionsItemSelected().

package com.blogspot.android_er.androidtoolbar;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
 setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

 getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Toolbar example");
 toolbar.setSubtitle("Android-er.blogspot.com");
 toolbar.setLogo(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_info_details);

 }

 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
 getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
 return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
 }

 @Override
 public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
 Toast.makeText(this, item.getTitle(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
 }
}
