[maemo-developers] Submenues in Fremantle

[From: Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

i am just changing my apps to use the HildonAppMenu under
Fremantle. These apps (gpxview and osm2go) use submenus,
so i either reduce the number of menues entries or find a replacement
for submenues.

While i was pretty successful doing the first i still need a submenu
here and there. I found this example:
  http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/tutorial/html/ch10.html
using seperate windows for this.

I have two problems with this (the current version of gpxview in 
extras-devel is doing it this way):

1) Consistency: Why is nokia telling us that clicking outside a dialog
is a natural way of closing it if at the same time they introduce an
explicit close button for submenues this way (you need to click 
the back arrow in the upper right corner to close such a "submenu")? 

2) They look ugly

I tried to use a seperate hildonappmenu via hildon_app_menu_popup,
but wasn't successful (just nothing pops up).

So my question: Is there a nice and consistent solution for submenues
in fremantle?
