Right, got it. So to create a submenu, we can do this (within the top-
level menu element):
<item android:id="@+id/upload" android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_upload"
android:title="Upload">
<menu>
<item android:id="@+id/facebook" android:title="Facebook" />
<item android:id="@+id/myspace"android:title="MySpace" />
</menu>
</item>
The pattern is <item> - <menu> - <item>.
