Android how to add many menus for different tabs

Question

I have many tabs like this:

TabHost th;
TabSpec spec;
th = (TabHost) findViewById(R.id.tabhost_template_two_tabs);
th.setup();
// all tab
spec = th.newTabSpec("All");
spec.setIndicator("All");
spec.setContent(R.id.tab_template_two_tabs_all);
th.addTab(spec);
// favorite tab
spec = th.newTabSpec("Favorite");
spec.setIndicator("Favorite");
spec.setContent(R.id.tab_template_two_tabs_favorite);
th.addTab(spec);

and for each tab i want to add a menu, how please?

Answer 1

Each Tabin the TabHost has a number starting from 0, so you have to know which tab you are in now by using int currentTab = th.getCurrentTab(); and then clear the previous menu by using menu.clear() then adding your new menu by using inflater.inflater(menuID, menu)

@Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        int currentTab = th.getCurrentTab();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), currentTab+"", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
        if (currentTab == 0){
            menu.clear();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.first, menu);}
        else{
            menu.clear();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.second, menu);}
        return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

note:

onCreateOptionsMenu will not help you in your case
