Question

In my application of Android I have an activity “A” with a menu. I want to disable a menu item when you return from another activity “B”. I am using the methods OnPrepareOptionsMenu and onActivityResult but I can not do it. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can do as below but you must override onDestroy method of second activity and make isEnabled variable to true.

@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    menu.clear();

    if (isEnabled) {
        menu.add("item").setEnabled(true);
    } else {
        menu.add("item");
    }

    return true;
}
