How to use standard menu icons?

[Inman]

I have a menu in my application and currently I am using separate PNG files for each icon. I read that it is possible to use the inbuilt standard Android menu icons without including any extra assets. There is a discussion regarding this at the URL below, explaining how to achieve this in Java.

How to select standard Android menu icons? - Stack Overflow

I was wondering if this is possible in B4A.

I have added this but it throws a exception as follows. Where could the problem be any idea?

Thanks !


Compiling code. Error

Activity.AddMenuItem ("Add Configuration", "AddConfig" ,bd.Bitmap )
Word: bd

Snippet of code from one of my Activity_Create subs that displays inbuilt icons in the menu bar

   Dim ph As Phone
   Dim bd As BitmapDrawable

   bd = ph.GetResourceDrawable(17301555)
   Activity.AddMenuItem2 ("Add Round", "AddRound", bd.Bitmap )   

   bd = ph.GetResourceDrawable(17301564)
   Activity.AddMenuItem2 ("Delete Round", "DelRound", bd.Bitmap )


   bd = ph.GetResourceDrawable(17301568)
   Activity.AddMenuItem2 ("Help", "Help", bd.Bitmap )

You must use:

Activity.AddMenuItem[COLOR=red]2[/COLOR]("Add Configuration", "AddConfig" ,bd.Bitmap )

and not

Activity.AddMenuItem ("Add Configuration", "AddConfig" ,bd.Bitmap )

This one is without an icon and needs only two parameters.

Best regards.

I've put a small app together that will pull all the builtin icons on the device and displays them in a ListView. This may be helpful to find the ones you are looking for.
