Android ActionBar Recreate Options Menu
android, android-actionbar, options-menu
Solution
Invalidate the menu with invalidateOptionsMenu() and then put your code in the onPrepareOptionsMenu area.
Problem
When using the ActionBar in Android, how do you refresh the options menu? I have tried hiding and showing the bar, along with getting a new instance of it with "getSupportActionBar()" I am trying to implement a Login/Logout button that will change dynamically based on the state of the user. Here is my onCreateOptionsMenu method ``` @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { if (loggedIn) menu.add(0, MENU2, 0, "Logout").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS); else menu.add(0, MENU2, 0, "Login").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS); menu.add(0, MENU1, 0, "Home").setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } ``` Thanks!
