When i long click on a recyclerview item the context menu shows but only the text, not the associated icons, here's the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<item
android:id="#+id/bookmark"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:title="#string/bookmarked_ayah"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_bookmark" />
<item
android:id="#+id/fbshare"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:title="#string/fb_share"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_facebookshare" />
<item
android:id="#+id/saveayah"
android:orderInCategory="3"
android:title="#string/save_ayah"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_save" />
</menu>
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.ayah_saving_actionbar_items,menu);
return true;
}
If you're running your code on Android 3.0+, the icons in the menu are not shown by design. This is a design decision by Google.
But if you really want to show icons, you can use the code:
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
try {
Field field = menu.getClass().getDeclaredField("mOptionalIconsVisible");
field.setAccessible(true);
field.setBoolean(menu, true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
It uses reflection and sets the icons visible. I tested and here is the result:

Currently, my options menu is aligned to the end of the screen. I want to give it a margin, something like android:layout_marginEnd = "20dp". How can I achieve this?
My options menu:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_items"
android:icon="#drawable/menu_icon"
app:showAsAction="always">
<menu>
<group android:id="#+id/item1">
<item
android:id="#+id/download"
android:icon="#drawable/download_icon"
android:title="Download"></item>
</group>
<group android:id="#+id/item2">
<item
android:id="#+id/invite"
android:icon="#drawable/invite_icon"
android:title="Invite"></item>
</group>
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
My Custom Toolbar:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/menu_toolbar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.MyTheme"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_below="#id/greetText"> <!--assume it comes somewhere in the centre due to this-->
</androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>
My Theme for menu items:
<style name="ThemeOverlay.MyTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/dimGray</item>
<item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginEnd">20dp</item> <!-- doesn't work-->
<item name="android:fontFamily">#font/quicksand_medium</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/options_menu_background</item>
</style>
Here is the image of my problem. It shows how the end of the menu and the screen are aligned. I want space/margin between these two.
This is an interesting problem. I tried with many things found on the internet, but nothing works. I tried setting the actionOverflowMenuStyle with dropDownHorizontalOffset attribute which does not work either. Finally, I ended up getting a PopupMenu which works just fine. Here is the implementation.
Get your initial menu shorter with a single item which will open up the popup menu as a submenu.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_items"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_close_swipe"
android:title="#string/app_name"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
Then create another menu, in your /res/menu/ folder, named popup_menu.xml like the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_items"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_close_swipe"
android:title="#string/app_name"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
Now in your MainActivity, just add the following functions to handle the click action of the menu button and the popup menu.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar myToolbar = findViewById(R.id.menu_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_items:
showPopupMenu();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
public void showPopupMenu() {
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, findViewById(R.id.menu_items));
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);
popup.inflate(R.menu.popup_menu);
popup.setGravity(Gravity.END);
Object menuHelper;
Class[] argTypes;
try {
Field fMenuHelper = PopupMenu.class.getDeclaredField("mPopup");
fMenuHelper.setAccessible(true);
menuHelper = fMenuHelper.get(popup);
argTypes = new Class[]{boolean.class};
menuHelper.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setForceShowIcon", argTypes).invoke(menuHelper, true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
popup.show();
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.invite:
Toast.makeText(this, "Invite", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
case R.id.download:
Toast.makeText(this, "Download", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
}
I put the working code in this Github Branch. You might consider cloning from that branch and run the application to check if that suffices your expectation.
Hope that helps!
I have a strange issue with submenus and android:checkableBehavior="single". It works fine if the menu is in action bar, but displays check boxes instead of radio buttons if menu is in the action mode. I use AppCompatActivity and create action mode with startActionMode().
menu xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/priority"
android:title="#string/priority"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom">
<menu>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/low_priority"
android:title="#string/low_pririty"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/normal_priority"
android:title="#string/normal_priority"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/high_priority"
android:title="#string/high_priority"/>
</group>
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
How can I fix this?
You menu works fine for me using the startSupportActionMode method instead of the startActionMode method. The startActionMode method should not be used when using the support library AppCompatActivity.
.startSupportActionMode(new android.support.v7.view.ActionMode.Callback() {
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.test_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode) {
}
});
I have created a menu for my actionmode bar with icons but not all menu are showing with icon in actionmode bar. This is my menu xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_archive"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_file_archive"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_remove"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_upload_to_cloud"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_file_cloud_upload"
android:orderInCategory="200"
android:title="#string/action_upload_to_cloud"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_delete"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_file_delete"
android:orderInCategory="300"
android:title="#string/action_move_to_trash"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
This is my code for creating Actionmode Bar.
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_actionmode_device_documents, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode) {
this.actionMode = null;
}
This image is my output which is showing only one icon of menu but i want all other icons too.
This may be a little too late, but I'm putting this answer in case someone else runs into the same problem. It seems the system does not keep count of the app:showAsAction="always" attribute.
The soulution is to update the menus manually in onPrepareActionMode
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_archive).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_upload_to_cloud).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_delete).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
return true;
}
This seems odd but it works.
I tried
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
Log.v(
this.getClass().getName() + "!!!",
new Exception().getStackTrace()[0].getMethodName()
);
MenuItem m_item = (MenuItem)menu.findItem(R.id.action_settings);
if(m_item != null)
m_item.setTitle("Back to test");
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.settings, menu);
return true;
}
but it always gets null.And also,onCreate seems to have it as null as well. Is there a function that i can modify the text on it during runtime??? And if so, is there an easy way to find it?
You should add items in the menu xml. You can find it on the folder res/menu. There you have all the menus available for inflation.
I suppose that you have only one. This is how it could look with added options:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/searchMain"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="Search"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/searchBarcodeScan"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
app:showAsAction="always|withText"
android:title="Scanner"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/seeList"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="See list"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/settings"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_settings"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="Settings"/>
</menu>
Then in your activity you can react to the option selected by overriding this method and doing things inside it:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.searchMain:
doSomething();
return true;
case R.id.searchBarcodeScan:
doSomething2();
return true;
case R.id.seeList:
doSomething3();
return true;
case R.id.settings:
doSomething4();
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
EDIT
In order to change menus in runtime, you should call the method invalidateOptionsMenu(). This method will force the recreation of the menu and this time onPrepareOptionsMenu method will be called. You should override it in your Activity this way:
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
if(someCondition){
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
}
else if(someOtherCondition){
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.other_menu, menu);
}
return true;
}
Instead of
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.settings, menu);
do something like:
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_custom, menu);
where res/menu/menu_custom.xml is something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/menu_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/search"/>
<item android:id="#+id/menu_settings"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_settings"
android:title="#string/settings" />
</menu>
This will give you two items in the dropdown. It looks like your res/menu/settings.xml only has one item in it.
How to show icon with option menu.I have tried the following code but my option menu is without image icon.I am using android version 4.0 for developing app.
Java code :
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add("Add Contacts").setIcon(
R.drawable.ic_launcher);
return true;
}
Following is my app's screen shot
I need image to be displayed on the top of "Add Contacts" item.
Override OnPrepareOptionsMenu and add icon from there too
and if its for above 3.0, use android:showAsAction in xml.
eg. android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
I tried the code in two line and it works:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add("Add Contacts");
menu.getItem(0).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
return true;
}
You can create a custom menu like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/add_contacts"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:title="#string/add_contacts"
/>
</menu>
And then inflate it
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
return true;
}
More on this here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#options-menu
you can directly set this into the xml file.
<item android:id="#+id/add_contacts"
android:icon="#android:drawable/plus_icon"
android:title="Add Contacts"/>
You Can try Following this Link.
Check this out and tell me if it worked or not.
Or you can do some thing like this.
Create menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/next"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_next"
android:title="#string/next" />
<item android:id="#+id/previous"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_previous"
android:title="#string/previous" />
<item android:id="#+id/list"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_list"
android:title="#string/list" />
</menu>
And now you will be able to set ICON on menu
Now in CreateOptionMenu
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
And to access that menu.
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.next:
Toast.makeText(this, "You have chosen the " + getResources().getString(R.string.next) + " menu option",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
…
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
To enable Option Menu with Icons:
Wrap the Items with an Item with showAsAction="always" and a Menu:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:title="#string/title_menu"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_icon_menu"
app:showAsAction="always">
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/action1"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action1"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_icon_action1"
app:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
If you use some following attribute in manifest file then it's will be show your icon....
<activity android:name=".ui.CategoryActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
**android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"**></activity>
It's work fine for me...:)
+1 for my own effort...
**must be enter.
Easiest way is to use the #drawable only when setting your menu item.
OR
Simply put the #drawable before the title declaration.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<menu
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app ="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id ="#+id/addToFavorites"
android:icon = "#drawable/ic_favorite_border_white_24dp"
android:title = "Hello"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id ="#+id/about"
android:title ="About"
app:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>
the problem is the Androidmanifest.xml.
Remove android:theme="#style/AppTheme" and it will work just fine
