What is meant is to add a menu button - or menu item - in another application.
This is only possible if the hosting application explicitly provides this possibility. We do this in our OI applications, so that 3rd party applications can add additional functionality on-the-fly... for example OI Voice Notes appears as a menu extension in OI Notepad. For this purpose, the hosting activity (OI Notepad) must call addIntentOptions(....) when they create the menu http://code.google.com/p/openintents/source/browse/trunk/NotePad/src/org/openintents/notepad/NoteEditor.java while the other activity (OI Voice Notes) that wants to be included in the first application shall specify an intent filter in the category <category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" /> http://code.google.com/p/openintents/source/browse/trunk/VoiceNote/AndroidManifest.xml Peli www.openintents.org On Jun 24, 3:44 pm, s <sbank...@aol.com> wrote: > How can I cause my app to add a button to another app, the text > messaging app for instance?
