Hello, I was checking the documentation and I realized Menu was an interface, so in which class is it implemented on the following code??:
@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuItem menuItem = menu.add("Next Image"); (...)

Treehouse TeacherHey Tomas! It would be implemented by the 'menu' being passed into 'onCreateOptionsMenu'.
For example, if we had an interface that required a keyboard, we could have a method like: doSomething(Keyboard keyboard)
And we could pass in objects that implement our keyboard interface like doSomething(phone)
or doSomething(laptop)
.
So we're not entirely sure what class is being passed into 'onCreateOptionsMenu'. We just know that, whatever class it is, it definitely implements the Menu interface.
