Question

I have Activity A and a TabHost in it. My TabHost has 2 tabs. The fist tab has Activity B and the second tab has Activity C.

Activity A has a menu. Activities B and C does not have any menu.
When I click on Activity A I can open its menu but when I click on one of tabs, the menu of A is not shown. It means that Activity B or C is activated and I do not have access to the menu of A.

How can I have access to the menu or other resources of A when it has this TabHost?

Answer 1

Try this code in your tabbed acivities:

@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    if(getParent() != null) {
        return getParent().onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }
}

so basically your tabbed activities would “redirect” options menu request to host.
