Is there a way to get the Android ID for a menu item? I can see getTitle() but not a getId(). I'm interested in the ID value "menu_printer_settings" rather than the title value "printer_settings" and the menu item ID (getItemId()). I need this ID to make my Monkey Talk scripts work for localized builds also.
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_printer_settings"
android:title="@string/printer_settings"
/>
Solution1:
MenuItem item
String[] id = getResources().getResourceName(item.getItemId()).split("\\/");
then access id[1]
Solution2:
Use titleCondensed to match the id e.g.
<menu>
<item android:id="@+id/myid"
android:title="some menu title"
android:titleCondensed="myid"/>
...
</menu>
then
String selectedMenuIdString = (String) item.getTitleCondensed();
I prefer Solution 1 since I don't have to repeat the id name.
Hope this helps. Regards Steve
