When you click on something ( lets say a view like spinner) a menu from the below appears with choices.

Hi
You can build a menu in Activity_Create

Activity.addmenuitem("Some Text","EventName")

Sub EventName_click

end sub

'Control the menu by
Activity.openmenu
Activity.closemenu

It is quite similar to InputList:

dim r as int = InputList(Array("1", "2", "3"), "ttt", -1)

That is real neat. Thanks Erel.

How do you get the user choice ?

Look at the documentation!

I looked at Core Intent.

I am not very familiar with the documentation yet, and often need assistance to navigate it.

Thank you Manfred.

Just type in the Objectname into the searchbox and the first result will be the documentation. See my searchlink...

I appreciate your guidance, Manfred. Please understand someone discovering the language may not know the terminology as well as you do.

I just received the book from Wyken Seagrave, that will probably help a lot.

As a sidenote: in the beginning the documentation was very hard to navigate for me as well. Even now i think it is needlessly hard to oversee. very 90ish...

@DonManfred is referring to this snippet:

You can also see it in the IDE by hovering over the relevant keyword (if there are no warnings or errors on that line):

I guess I am getting more comfortable around B4A, but I find that it is difficult to know in advance where to look, since sometimes I do not really know the name of what I am looking for. Fortunately, several searches in the forum usually lead to the solution. And if necessary, I know I can always ask
