We may be trying to run before we can walk here!
For the few apps I write for Android I adopt a very clean (in my opinion
but this only works for B4XMainPage as other pages do not seem to have Main as their parent or root. So firstly is there a way to get a reference to Main in every B4XPage so each page can set its own menu items in their own B4XPage_Create?
Having added the menu items I think I can mange to call into each B4XPage as required from the menu event Subs in main. However I now need a mechanism to remove or hide the unwanted items according to which page is displayed. I don't think the menu items can be removed once added but I think they can be individually enabled/disabled and hidden if required. So secondly is there a way using Reflection or JavaObject to access the menu items to manipulate them.
I've tried poking around to see how the menu is implemented in B4A but have come up against a blank wall with B4AActivity.addMenuItem whose concrete implementation I can't find. Should I give up now or later?

B4X:
Dim act As Activity = B4XPages.GetNativeParent(Me)
act.AddMenuItem("Fred", "Menu")
' or
Dim act As Activity = Root1
act.AddMenuItem("Fred", "Menu")Having added the menu items I think I can mange to call into each B4XPage as required from the menu event Subs in main.
