Creating Menus

[davewit13]

hi,

having problems creating menus in j2me.
Found alot of code around using MenuElements, lists and all sorts of things.

my code for the list is roughly like this:

{
List menu=new List("MainMenu",List.IMPLICIT);

int num1, num2, num3,num4,num5;
private Command cmd = new Command("Select", Command.OK, 1);
Displayable display1;


public void options()
{
num1 = 0;
num2 = 1;
num3 = 2;
num4 = 3;
num5 = 4;

menu.append("Start Game", null);
menu.append("High Scores", null);
menu.append("Instructions", null);
menu.append("About", null);
menu.append("Exit", null);

menu.addCommand(cmd);
menu.setCommandListener(this);
display1.setCommandListener(this);
}

The problem now is how to i check which one is pressed?

Or is there a better way to do this?

Is will be quick a simple menu as you can see.

Any advice is appreciated

Hi...
U dont need to add Select command on to the list it will be comming automatically....

>>The problem now is how to i check which one is pressed?

Try using
getSelectedIndex()

From the getselectedIndex() how do i reference the specific menu option.

How will the if statement go

if(menu.getSelecetedIndex() == ?)
{

}

Hi...


int selectedOption = optionsMenu.getSelectedIndex();

if(selectedOption == 0)
{
//code for the corresponding selection
}

else if(selectedOption == 1)
{
//code for the corresponding selection
}

else if(selectedOption == 2)
{
//code for the corresponding selection
}

Hope this helps...
