Today we are discussion about Option menu
What is Option Menu in android ?
Option Menus are the primary menus of android. They can be used for settings, search, delete item etc.
Here, we are going to see two examples of option menus. First, the simple option menus and second, options menus with images.
Here, we are inflating the menu by calling the inflate() method of MenuInflater class. To perform event handling on menu items, you need to override onOptionsItemSelected() method of Activity class.
