how to keep an options menu always on the screen

Question

I need the options menu to be displayed on screen always.. I've written the code to open options menu on the startup of an activity..

@Override
    public void onAttachedToWindow() {
        openOptionsMenu(); 
    };

But on clicking on another item on the screen, the menu goes down.. I want the menu to be on screen always.. Is there any way to do that?

Why not make what you would want in the option menu part of your layout in the first place? — Matthieu, Sep 19 '12 at 06:37

Is it possible to keep the options menu always open? I dont think so.. better add a custom menu in your layout.xml and set it to visible/invisible depending up on its current state — Randroid, Sep 19 '12 at 06:46

Please try the following code:

@Override
public void onOptionsMenuClosed(Menu menu) {
openOptionsMenu();
}
