Menu button´s activity programming

Question

I want to do a button that when I click it does the same what the menu button of the telephone would do.

I know for example that if I use onBackPressed(); it does the same that the back button of the telephone would do.

Anybody knows how to do that for the menu button?

Thank you

Answer 1

I found a link suggesting that you do this:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keycode, KeyEvent event ) {
 if(keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU){
  //WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE TO DO
 }
 return super.onKeyDown(keycode,event);  
}

Is this what you are looking for?

If you are trying to open the app's option menu, as the Menu button does, take a look here
