Time for action – adding an Android menu

Perform the following steps for adding an Android menu:

1. Add a function that will define the pop-up menu:

   function addMenu(win) {
       var activity = win.activity;
   
       activity.onCreateOptionsMenu = function(e){
   
       var firstItem = e.menu.add({ title: 'First Item' });
       firstItem.addEventListener("click", function(e) {Ti.API.debug('First Item'); });
       
       var secondItem = e.menu.add({ title: 'Second Item'});
       secondItem.addEventListener("click", function(e) {Ti.API.warn('Second Item'); });
       
       var thirdItem = e.menu.add({ title: 'Third Item'});
       thirdItem.addEventListener("click", function(e) {alert('Third Item'); });
   };
   }

2. Further down app.js where the windows are defined, add the highlighted code to call the function:

   win1.add(label1);
   addMenu(win1);
   

3. Run the app using the Android emulator.
