Question

Below is the code to check whether user is logged in or not , so if user is logged then he will see “greeting-layout” else “registration-layout” .
According to user’s status(registered/un-registered) I want to display different “menuItems” or “Menu” .
Do i need to make different Classes for registered and unregistered user ?

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    /* check User's "STATUS" is logged-in or not and display screen according to "STATUS"  */
    SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("CRUMBS",MODE_PRIVATE);
    if (prefs.getString("logged", "").toString().equals("logged")) {
        setContentView(R.layout.crumbs_view_logged);

        //Display menu items > " Logout " & " Profile "

    }else{

        setContentView(R.layout.crumbs_view_default);
        //Display menu items > "Register" & " Login " 

    }

}

Thanks in advance 🙂

Just inflate different menu.xml files. A bit like

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
  if (loggedIn) {
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.registered,menu);
  }
  else {
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.nonRegistered,menu);
  }
  return true;
}

Where you have res/menu/registered.xml for registered users and .../nonRegistered.xml for others. For common menu items, you need to provide the same id.
