android: changing option menu items programmatically

Question

Is it possible to change the option menu items programmatically? Can anyone provide me with an example please?

Also, I want to disable certain items, so that they do

Answer 1

If I have to change the contents of my options menu I perform it during the onMenuOpened(). This allows me to check the running state at the very moment that the user is accessing the menu.

public boolean onMenuOpened(int featureid, Menu menu)
    {
        menu.clear();
        if (!editable)
        {
            MenuItem itemAdd = menu.add(0, REASSIGN, Menu.NONE, context.getString(R.string.reassign));
            MenuItem itemMod = menu.add(1, EDIT, Menu.NONE, context.getString(R.string.modify));
            MenuItem itemDel = menu.add(2, DELETE, Menu.NONE, context.getString(R.string.delete));
            itemAdd.setShortcut('0', 'a');
            itemMod.setShortcut('1', 'm');
            itemDel.setShortcut('2', 'd');
        }
        else
        {
            MenuItem itemSave = menu.add(3, SAVE, Menu.NONE, context.getString(R.string.savechanges));
            itemSave.setShortcut('0', 'S');
        }


        return true;
    }
