Menu Items and Custom Actions

A drop-down list from which the user can choose an item, or a custom action you can use to associate custom code with a menu item or control.

When you generate files for a package, a method is created for each menu item or custom action defined in the Hybrid App. For an action that is associated with a menu item, a native menu is generated for the supported BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Mobile platforms. On the iOS platform, menus are provided from HTML controls that emulate the iPhone navigation bar and toolbar.

If you create a menu item or action that invokes an object query, it automatically creates an output key, which is a list of keys that are bound to the attributes of the mobile business object.
