How to call onCreateOptionsMenu from code

Question

I want to call onCreateOptionsMenu from code, because if I use:

menu.setGroupEnabled(0, false); 

WITH

 public Menu menu; public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { this.menu = menu; menu.add(0,0,0,"Option"); return true; } 

This does not work if the user has never pressed the menu button. How can i do this?

thanks

PS: If this is bad practice let me know

I believe you want invalidateOptionsMenu()
