Hi ashutosh12,

I'm not sure to understand what you need. If you want to check if a menu is set or not you can do as below:

import appuifw

...

print appuifw.app.menu

menu = [(u'Item0', lambda:None),
        (u'Item1', lambda:None),
        (u'Item2', lambda:None),
        (u'Item3', lambda:None)]

appuifw.app.menu = menu

print appuifw.app.menu

...

ashutosh12,

The menu you refer to are the tabs in the navigation pane. The source below show you how it works.

Also their are no methods in appuifw.app that retrieve the current active tab nether if this menu is displayed. But on the other hand I'm not sure this would be that useful since everything can be handled in the source.

import e32, appuifw

# Just a dummy handler...
def menu_action( aIndex ):
    print "menu: ", aIndex

# aIndex receives the index of the tab to activate
def tabs_handler( aIndex ):
    # activate the right tab
    appuifw.app.activate_tab( aIndex )
    e32.ao_yield()

    # TODO: implement the views
    if aIndex == 0:
        appuifw.app.body = VIEW0
    elif aIndex == 1:
        appuifw.app.body = VIEW1
    elif aIndex == 2:
        appuifw.app.body = VIEW2
    elif aIndex == 3:
        appuifw.app.body = VIEW3
    elif aIndex == 4:
        appuifw.app.body = VIEW4

# Exit handler
def __exit__():
    # desable tabs
    appuifw.app.set_tabs( [], [] )

    # release the lock
    APP_LOCK.signal()


if __name__ == "__main__":

    # create an active object
    APP_LOCK = e32.Ao_lock()

    # set title
    appuifw.app.title = u"Menu and tabs"

    # set exit handler
    appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = __exit__

    VIEW0 = appuifw.Text(u'View0')
    VIEW1 = appuifw.Text(u'View1')
    VIEW2 = appuifw.Text(u'View2')
    VIEW3 = appuifw.Text(u'View3')
    VIEW4 = appuifw.Text(u'View4')


    # define a menu structure
    menu = [( u'Item0', lambda:menu_action(0) ),
            ( u'Item1', lambda:menu_action(1) ),
            ( u'Item2', lambda:menu_action(2) ),
            ( u'Item3', lambda:menu_action(3) )]

    # set the menu  (Options button)
    appuifw.app.menu = menu
    # get an print the menu
    # print appuifw.app.menu

    # define tabs
    tabs = [u't0', u't1', u't2', u't3', u't4']

    # set tabs and it callback
    appuifw.app.set_tabs( tabs, tabs_handler )

    # set view to the app body
    appuifw.app.body = VIEW0

    APP_LOCK.wait()
