OnOptionsItemSelected not being called for Action Bar Menu Item with custom actionLayout

I'm trying to implement a notification icon in my actionbar to show the count of notifications. Something like
I've added a custom layout file for it NotificationIcon.xml:
<!-- Menu Item Image -->
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="2dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#drawable/notification" />
<!-- Badge Count -->
<TextView
android:id="#+id/actionbar_notifcation_textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:minWidth="20dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/circle_green"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-black"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:text="0"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />
</RelativeLayout>
And used it in my menu as main_activity_actions.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_add"
android:title="#string/AddTag"
android:icon="#+drawable/ic_action_new"
android:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/notification_icon"
android:title="#string/PendingJobs"
android:actionLayout="#layout/notificationIcon"
android:icon="#+drawable/notification"
android:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/gps_status_icon"
android:title="#string/GPS"
android:icon="#+drawable/gps_grey"
android:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
The UI looks fine but the OnOptionsItemSelected is not being called for the notification icon. It works fine for the other two.
I did google this and ound this link: onOptionsItemSelected not getting called when using custom action view
I tried to implement it in my main activity:
public override bool OnCreateOptionsMenu(IMenu menu)
{
actionBarMenu = menu;
MenuInflater.Inflate(Resource.Menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
var notificationMenuItem = menu.FindItem(Resource.Id.notification_icon);
notificationMenuItem.ActionView.Click += (sender, args) => {
this.OnOptionsItemSelected(notificationMenuItem);
};
return base.OnCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
but it does not works for me. It never fires the click event.
Please help.

#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
final View notification_icon= menu.findItem(R.id.notification_icon).getActionView();
notification_icon.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// write ur code here
}
});
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
use this code......hope it helps :)

i struggle with the same Problem and found following Solution:
First of all: i really don't know why but if you delete the
android:clickable="true"
then ... and ONLY then you get the click event!!!
Second: you have to set the Listener...
...
item.getActionView().setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Do Your Stuff.....
}
});
May someone can Explain why this is with the "android:clickable" Thing... i tough the standard value IS true??

You had made ImageButton clickable, and then written the clickListener for the Layout of menuItem. You can observe that if you click outside the ImageButton but inside the MenuItem layout, your listener will work. The reason is simple clickListener for ImageButton has nothing to do, on setting Clickable = true defines whether this button reacts to click events. Just simply set Clickable = false, your button will not react to its click event, eventually your whole layout will react to your defined clickListener and then your problem will be solved.

How change position of popup menu on android overflow button?

I just like to implement somethings same as popup menu in the Gmail app, anchored to the overflow button at the top-right. for that I used the same code as google tutorial for android Android popup menu, but for me show pop menu on top of edge of actionbar not under that. If you notice on pop menu of gmail overflow you saw that popmenu take place at edge of actionbar.
This is the xml that I used for popup menu:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/item1"
android:title="lablab"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/item2"
android:title="lablab"/>
</menu>
and at the follow is in my activity:
public void showFontSetting(View view) {
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, view);
MenuInflater inflater = popup.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, popup.getMenu());
popup.show();
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.item1:
Toast.makeText(Index.this,
"You Clicked : " + item.getTitle(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.item2:
break;
}
return true;
}
});
}

To overlap only, use this approach:
PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(getContext(), this, Gravity.NO_GRAVITY, R.attr.actionOverflowMenuStyle, 0);
To get a PopupMenu with a bright background and a detailed control over the offsets use this approach:
styles.xml
<style name="PopupMenuOverlapAnchor" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">true</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">0dp</item>
<item name="android:dropDownHorizontalOffset">0dp</item>
</style>
Code:
ContextThemeWrapper contextThemeWrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(getContext(), R.style.PopupMenuOverlapAnchor);
PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(contextThemeWrapper, this);

Applying gravity helped in my case
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v, Gravity.RIGHT);

Add the following piece of code to your activity:
PopupWindow popupwindow_obj; // create object
popupwindow_obj=popupDisplay(); // initialize in onCreate()
popupwindow_obj.showAsDropDown(clickbtn,-40, 18); // where u want show on view click event
public PopupWindow popupDisplay() { // disply designing your popoup window
final PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(this); // inflet your layout or diynamic add view
View view;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);
Button item = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.button1);
popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
popupWindow.setWidth(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
popupWindow.setHeight(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
popupWindow.setContentView(view);
return popupWindow;
}
Create an XML in res/layout directory and name it mylayout.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Window test" />
</LinearLayout>

After trying out each approach that I have found, I would think putting an anchoring view might still be an easier and simpler way, especially when you are using a more flexible layout, e.g. ConstraintLayout.
Just put an invisible view to where you want the popup menu to anchor:
<View
android:id="#+id/anchor_menu"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/button_menu"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/button_menu"
/>
Then use it as the anchoring view instead:
mPopupMenu = new PopupMenu(getActivity(), mPopupMenuAnchor);
Boom, it is done.

Maybe you might consider using PopupWindow instead.
popupwindow.showAsDropDown(view,x,y);
Here x and y is position of popup window relative to your view.

Android - Popup menu when list item view pressed?

i would like to implement a popup menu similar to google's play store as shown below.
so basically from what i understand, i'll need an activity and a layout for this activity with a listview defined in it. i need to create my custom adapter. also, i need to create a list layout would contain the information and a view (with the 3 dots) that will serve as the button to launch the popup menu? the issue that i'm seeing here is that how do i create a listener for this view only and how do i reference the value for that specific list item in the list view.
i don't have any code available yet as i haven't started anything related to this. i'm currently getting info in theory for now but if required i will create a sample code.
thanks.

Using popup menu it's quite simple to create a menu with these three steps:
1 - Add a click listener to the menu button using OnClickListener or as i prefer from the layout xml:
<ImageButton android:id="#+id/menu_button" android:onClick="showMenu" ... />
2 - Create the menu layout menu_layout.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/item_settings"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="Settings"
android:visible="true"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/item_about"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="About"
android:visible="true"/>
</menu>
3 - Create a popup menu, inflate the xml layout and show it:
public void showMenu (View view)
{
PopupMenu menu = new PopupMenu (this, view);
menu.setOnMenuItemClickListener (new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener ()
{
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick (MenuItem item)
{
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id)
{
case R.id.item_settings: Log.i (Tag, "settings"); break;
case R.id.item_about: Log.i (Tag, "about"); break;
}
return true;
}
});
menu.inflate (R.menu.menu_layout);
menu.show();
}

ActionBarCompat List PopupMenu implementation is here (with back port available because it uses ABC)!
You can also get this sample from Github or from SDK (Mr.Morgan commented below)
/sdk/samples/android-19/ui/ActionBarCompat-ListPopupMenu. Make sure to
install Samples for SDK under Android 4.4.2 (API 19)

You can use like this:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ListView listView_Actions;
ArrayList<String> actionsArrayList;
Button btn_ViewPopUp;
ArrayAdapter<String> actionsAdapter;
static final int CUSTOM_DIALOG_ID1 = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn_ViewPopUp=(Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_ViewPopUp);
actionsArrayList=new ArrayList<String>();
actionsArrayList.add("Action 1");
actionsArrayList.add("Action 2");
}
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
btn_ViewPopUp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showDialog(CUSTOM_DIALOG_ID1);
actionsAdapter = new MyCustomBaseAdapter(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.list_actions, actionsArrayList);
listView_Actions.setAdapter(actionsAdapter);
}
});
}
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
Dialog dialog = null;
switch (id) {
case CUSTOM_DIALOG_ID1:
dialog = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.list_actions);
listView_Actions = (ListView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.listView_Actions);
break;
}
return dialog;
}
class MyCustomBaseAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
{
public MyCustomBaseAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList<String> actionsArrayList) {
super(context, textViewResourceId,actionsArrayList);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.action_list_cell, null);
final TextView lblContactAction;
lblContactAction = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.txtContactAction);
lblContactAction.append(actionsArrayList.get(position));
return v;
}
}
}
Now XML files:
action_list_cell.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#android:color/background_light" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtContactAction"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=""
android:textSize="18dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/black" />
</LinearLayout>
list_actions.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner_top">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#DB6A16"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="2dp"
android:paddingLeft="2dp"
android:paddingRight="2dp" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView_Actions"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffffff" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

first of all you need to make your custom adapter with a view that has the 3 dots.
then in the getView() or newView() method you set the listener to the 3 dots image.
i think that PopupMenu is what you are looking for, it's is supported since API 11.
if you want to support also earlier version of the API you can use PopupMenu class provided by the support library v7.
the usage is pretty straight forward.
you define it with the id of the view you want the menu to show next to, and then you can directly inflate a menu resource there as if it was a common menu.

Now showDialog is deprecated, use PopupMenu instead
And AppCompat PopupMenu f you want to support version before V11
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Creating the instance of PopupMenu
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, button1);
//Inflating the Popup using xml file
popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popup_menu, popup.getMenu());
//registering popup with OnMenuItemClickListener
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"You Clicked : " + item.getTitle(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
});
popup.show();//showing popup menu
}
});//closing the setOnClickListener method
}
}

You have to set the Listener of the Button in the getView()-Method of your List-Adapter.
In this getView()-Method you assign a Layout to one List-Item. if you have done this, you just have to set the Listener on this View (Button), and handle the onClick() Event.

Not sure if i understand you correctly but you can trigger this method to open a pop up dialog with a listview.
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setTitle("Title if Any");
builder.setItems(R.array.listoptions, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int itemClicked) {
String[] option_array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.listoptions);
String optionSelected = option_array[itemClicked];
}
});
return builder.create();
}
See Adding a List
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="listoption">
<item>Install</item>
<item>Add to listview</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
Hope this helps.

Android add listview to OptionsMenu

I want to add a ListView to the options menu so when clicked it will pop up and allow the user to scroll through it and interact it without the same as any other listview.
using something this for the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ListView android:id="#+id/menuGroupsList" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</menu>
and this for the code:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.layout.menu, menu);
ListView list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.menuGroupsList);
}
returns null from the findViewById.
Is this at all possible?
Thanks

Don't use MenuInflater. Instead, create a custom layout with a list in it.
Override onPrepareOptionsMenu(..) and create a Dialog which you inflate with your custom layout.
Dialog dlg = new Dialog(context);
dlg.setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);
dlg.show();

inflate popup menu items programmatically

I have a button in my activity, pressing upon which, the following method gets called -
private ArrayList<ListView> myListViewList;
private ArrayList<MyListAdapter> myAdapterList;
public void onPopupButtonClick(View button) {
Log.v(TAG, "onPopupButtonClick");
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, button);
Menu menu = popup.getMenu();
// how do I display the myListViewList as items of in this popup menu
// i.e how do I inflate myListViewList into menu object?
}
I know how to do this programmatically for an activity - creating linearlayouts and listViews and finally using addContentView on the activity's context.
But finding it hard to do the same for the popup menu scenario as described above.

Check this code for Pop-up window
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) PopupMain.this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
final View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.popup,
(ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.popup_menu_root));
PopupWindow pw = new PopupWindow(layout, 300,100, true);
pw.dismiss();
pw.showAtLocation(layout, Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 10);
And your New pop-up layout should be as follows :
Popup.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/popup_menu_root"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="20dip" >
<TextView android:id="#+id/popup_menu_button1"
android:text="Copy"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
This line decide the Height and width of your New View(Pop up window)
PopupWindow pw = new PopupWindow(layout, 300,100, true);
and pw.showAtLocation(layout, Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 10);
tells where the Pop-up window should displays..
