hola friends,

i am wondering, are there any possibility to remove standards menu items?

for instance: close, select, copy...etc

actually, i have created number of screens and i noticed all of these screens have ( close and switch application menu items) and i would like to remove them and i don't know how..!

anybody have an idea about this issue?

Waiting ...

Hi,

If you override the makeMenu method in your screen, you can get rid of copy /select/close.....but i do not think it will delete switch Application.

protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
menu.deleteAll();
menu.add(new MenuItem("Test",100,100) {

public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
});
}

thanx brother for the fast replay..

actually i am using JRE 7 firstly, and i am using MenuItem to create menus .. so deleteAll() method doesnt work with it.. and i doesnt matter i can deal with that.. but i have a big problem with my code

MenuItem constructor takes 3 paramters.. " string. ordinal. and periority" and this error forced me to change the 2nd and last arguments everytime, the error is NullPointerException error.

so if i want to run my code, i need 5 or 6 times to get the error and in 7th time finally i works correctly..

please try to help me beacuse its my senior project and i dont wont to show my advisors bad work..

this is my code..

thanks brother, i got the error and i corrected it..

i dont know how! but i firstly reseted the semulator and then i used the way you gave to me to create menu items.. its really very easy way i dont know why i did that diffecult way by creating private classes rather than creating private variables for the menu items.

thank you again and i will try your way to remove other un-necessary items.
