Working with menus

Hey does anybody know a good place to get more information on menu? when a user selects the menu it displays some choices and maybe pictures.

or if anyone can help me with this it would be great.

Go through the notepad tutorial on the android developer site. It should be available as a sample app in your SDK so you can just go into the source and pull out the menu code. It has code for Menus when you click the menu button or when you do a long press on an item to show a context menu.

Using java Syntax Highlighting

@Override 
 
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { 
 
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); 
 
        menu.add(0, INSERT_ID, 0, R.string.menu_insert); 
 
        return true; 
 
    } 
 
}

you add the code above in the section you want the menu, and then you need to add the next line to the strings section.
