[FIXED] How to get the Android ID for a menu item in Android?

Issue

Is there a way to get the Android ID for a menu item? I can see getTitle() but not a getId(). I'm interested in the ID value "menu_printer_settings" rather than the title value "printer_settings" and the menu item ID (getItemId()). I need this ID to make my Monkey Talk scripts work for localized builds also.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
    android:id="@+id/menu_printer_settings"        
    android:title="@string/printer_settings"
/>

Solution

Solved it by getting all the fields for the package

        Map<Integer, String> idMap = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
        Class<?> r;
        String rClass = activity.getBaseContext().getApplicationContext().getPackageName()
                + ".R$id";
        try {
            r = Class.forName(rClass);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e1) {
            Log.log("Unable to load " + rClass + ": " + e1.getMessage());
            return idMap;
        }
        for (Field f : r.getFields()) {
            int val;
            try {
                val = f.getInt(null);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Unable to get value for " + f.getName() + ": "
                        + e.getMessage());
            }
            idMap.put(val, f.getName());

        }
