Hello Pals

I want to get the Menu instance from the menu item instance in it. Here is the scenario why i require this

I have created options menu with one item. Now when user clicks this item , i want to add another menu item in the same menu. So i need menu in the call back method from the
MenuItem being passed.

Menu Item will have a ID in that. You can use that ID and can create a new menu group by passing that menu id as a group id.

Please find the code and comments below

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    	
    	switch(item.getItemId()){
    	
    	case R.id.addMenuItem : 
    		   
    		  [size=18] // I want to add menu item here . Considering the fact that the class having this method does not have any instance variable set to the "options menu" [/size] 
    		   
    	
    	}
    	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
    	return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

I will suggest an easier logic. Take a variable which keeps track of you desired menu item's click state. And in onPrepareOptionsMenu or onCreateOptionsMenu you can add or remove other menu item..

I think this should work.
