To-do item menus


Let's augment the Today Todo app with a powerful design metaphor—navigation drawers.

The first thing we need to do is add a Todos action to our arrays.xml file, as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<resources> 
  <string-array name="actions"> 
    <item>Day of Year</item> 
    <item>On this day...</item> 
    <item>Todos</item> 
    <item>Step Count</item> 
  </string-array> 
</resources> 

This is how it shows up on the list menus. Go ahead and click on the Todos menu item and we'll interact with the items in the following sections:

Next, we will implement a menu for our Todo app using the WearableNavigationDrawer component from the Android Wear API. The menu will let us choose a different view (tab) corresponding to the type of to-do item (for example, home, work, and so on) and list to-do items of that type when the drawer tab is selected.
