CarMenuItem

public class CarMenuItem
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ androidx.car.widget.CarMenuItem

Class to build a CarMenuItem that appears in the CarToolbar menu.

The following properties can be specified:

  • Title - Primary text that is shown on the item.
  • CarMenuItem.OnClickListener - Listener that handles the clicks on the item.
  • Icon - An Icon shown before the title, if the item is not checkable (a switch).
  • Style - A Resource Id that specifies the style of the item if it's not an overflow item.
  • Enabled - A boolean that specifies whether the item is enabled or disabled.
  • Checkable - A boolean that specifies whether the item is checkable (a switch) or not.
  • Checked - A boolean that specifies whether the item is currently checked or not.
  • DisplayBehavior - A CarMenuItem.DisplayBehavior that specifies where the item is displayed.

Properties such as the title, isEnabled, and isChecked can be modified after creation, and as such, have setters in the class and the builder.
