Question

How to display native dialogs and menus?

Hi,

I'm using ActionScript (no MXML) and have just started experimenting with the Android platform. Could somebody point me to any documentation how to bring up a native dialog, and perhaps even create and populate a native menu? (the flash.ui.NativeMenu class doesn't seem to be supported)

More in general, is there any kind of language reference for Android-specific classes? (assuming there are any? I've also started playing with the BlackBerry tablet OS SDK, and there you get a whole load of packages with Playbook-specific or -optimized classes ...)

Sorry if those are stupid questions - I'm still getting my head round using different SDKs ...

Vanquish83, sorry for the late reply - I was away, and I guess also still partly hoping someone else would pipe up and tell me the command for bringing up a native menu is thus and thus ... (I still find it weird, that we would have to fake it)

But in the absence of access to the native classes, your component set is definitely a great time saver - I have just added the menu to my little app (just an internal testing tool, nothing you'll ever see in the Market). So thanks a lot for sharing!
