Joomla Component administration - link to different views

I have created a component in Joomla following the tutorial and I am using the MVC model. In the administration page, I can see everything from the default view but I don't know how to add a menu in there to access different views.

In the site it is easy as I link the menus to the different views but how can I achieve this in the administration part of the site?

When I click on the component in the admin part, I would like to have a menu to go to the different views. I could create links and a new menu myself but I hope there is something in Joomla to integrate this.

Thanks for the help.

In the installation xml file of your component you can add some code, whihc will automatically create some menus in Joomla Menu => components => yourComponent =>

<menu>COM_ABC</menu>
<submenu>
   <menu view="config">COM_ABC_CONFIG</menu>
   <menu view="view1">COM_ABC_VIEW1</menu>
   <menu view="view2">COM_ABC_VIEW2</menu>
</submenu>

If you are using Joomla 3.x then you can render this menus in your screens also by rendering menu layout. Probably this function JHtmlSidebar::render(); can help you.
