Is there a way to get the Android ID for a menu item? I can see getTitle() but not a getId(). I'm interested in the ID value "menu_printer_settings" rather than the title value "printer_settings" and the menu item ID (getItemId()). I need this ID to make my Monkey Talk scripts work for localized builds also.
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_printer_settings"
android:title="@string/printer_settings"
/>
Solved it by getting all the fields for the package
Map<Integer, String> idMap = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
Class<?> r;
String rClass = activity.getBaseContext().getApplicationContext().getPackageName()
+ ".R$id";
try {
r = Class.forName(rClass);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e1) {
Log.log("Unable to load " + rClass + ": " + e1.getMessage());
return idMap;
}
for (Field f : r.getFields()) {
int val;
try {
val = f.getInt(null);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Unable to get value for " + f.getName() + ": "
+ e.getMessage());
}
idMap.put(val, f.getName());
}
