MenuInflater

Kotlin |Java

public class MenuInflater
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.view.MenuInflater

This class is used to instantiate menu XML files into Menu objects.

For performance reasons, menu inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to use MenuInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime; it only works with an XmlPullParser returned from a compiled resource (R. something file.)
