Android Tutorial & Lessons 16: hardware menu button & Menu inflater items:

Whats up CornFanz, thanks for watching my videos, I would love it if you subscribe and give me some feedback.

In this lesson you will:
-set up a new activity
-set up the menu folder with a custom menu
-learn about the menu inflater
-learn how to access the menu button of the phones hardware
-review some stuff
-Some other sweet stuff
-subscribe
-Thumbs up this video ;)

This video is the 16th in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android phones. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C++, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.




If you do have a lot of experience with programming, these first videos will be really slow for you, but my goal is to get everyone sprinting, but for now we have learn to crawl.

hi travis thanks for the vids. Having a problem with this one. Am getting error of unreachable code on the line MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();

Have imported Menuinflater and all my code seems to match yours. I realise error must mean the code will never be called but not sure what i am doing wrong and cant move on with the error. Any help from anyone would be great.

I'm having that same Resource issue some of you other guys are having... anything with 'R' is not registering. Its weird how this just pops up and won't go away. Saves and Cleans don't do the trick. Did anyone find a fix to that yet?
