android eclipse menu enabled/disabled

Question

I create a menu in an activity with the following code:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu1, menu);

return true;

}

But so, I can open and close the menu any time. I want that the menu can be opened if a boolean is true, if the boolean is false, the user should not be able to open the menu...

just put a if statement in your code

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
if(yourbooleanvariable)
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu1, menu);
return true;
}

If you want to preserve the value of boolean vairable use sharedpreferences here is the link How to use SharedPreferences in Android to store, fetch and edit values

I guess you can just add an ifstatement to the function:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    bool x = true;
    if(x){
       getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu1, menu);
       return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
}

I tried this before and it didn't worked, but now it's working so I made an other mistake before. Thanks! – Jan Knoblauch Nov 04 '13 at 11:23
