here's my problem:
I have that nice toolbar with the icons in landscape mode:
after expanding the search view and showing the popup menu the "add" item appears (I thought that it shouldn't):
then returning with the back arrow key, as you see, the add button goes:
and you won't find it in the popup menu anymore:
I'm using support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0, and here's my menu code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/app_bar_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="Search"
app:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
android:enabled="true"
android:visible="true"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
<item android:title="Add"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_add"
android:visible="true"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:id="#+id/add" />
<item android:title="Settings"
android:id="#+id/settings"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_settings"
android:enabled="true"
android:visible="true" />
<item android:title="Feedback"
android:id="#+id/feedbvack"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_feedback"
android:enabled="true"
android:visible="true" />
</menu>
I can set the add button showAsAction to "always" but I know that this is discouraged.
Does anyone here know why is there this behavior? and how can I prevent that?
Thanks in advance.
You can try to use this:
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchMenuItem, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
//or use invalidateOptionsMenu();
return true;
}
});
So when SearchView will be collapsed Toolbar will reallocate items and ifRoom items will be visible. I had this bug too and solved it this way.
Try this
<item
android:id="#+id/app_bar_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="Search"
app:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
android:enabled="true"
android:visible="true"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"/>
<item android:title="Add"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_add"
android:visible="true"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:id="#+id/add" />
<item android:title="Settings"
android:id="#+id/settings"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_settings"
android:enabled="true"
android:visible="true" />
<item android:title="Feedback"
android:id="#+id/feedbvack"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_feedback"
android:enabled="true"
android:visible="true" />
Set app:showAsAction to always to make sure it will be visible always.
Use of ifRoom has this feature if space available it will show or else it will hide it better use always or never
<item android:title="Add"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_add"
android:visible="true"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:id="#+id/add" />
#Kovy has answered above with the fix for this bug and I confirm it fixes the bug. Thank you very much, mate! However, the above function has been deprecated in favour of individual menu items OnActionExpandListener. Example of it is as posted below:
MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
searchItem.setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
return true;
}
});

It seems impossible to find any answer on my question/problem regarding af scollable TextSelectionMenu! I have searched the whole Stackoverflow and Google without any succes and I have tried various ideas out.
I have 10 menu items in my custom TextSelectionMenu. Only 6 of them is visible, the rest is of course not, since you can't scroll to the others. Is it possible to implement a Scrollview/HorizontalListview of any sort to be able to scroll to the rest?
My menu_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<item
android:id="#+id/textcolor"
android:icon="#drawable/textcolor"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:visible="true"
android:title="ColorPicker"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource" />
<item
android:id="#+id/bold"
android:icon="#drawable/bold2"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:visible="true"
android:title="Bold"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource" />
<item
android:visible="true"
android:id="#+id/italic"
android:icon="#drawable/italic2"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Italic"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource" />
<item
android:visible="true"
android:id="#+id/underline"
android:icon="#drawable/underline2"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Underline"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource" />
<item
android:visible="true"
android:id="#+id/stroke"
android:icon="#drawable/strike"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Strikethrough"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource" />
<item
android:visible="true"
android:id="#+id/increase"
android:icon="#drawable/increase"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Increase"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource" />
<item
android:visible="true"
android:id="#+id/decrease"
android:icon="#drawable/decrease"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Decrease"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource" />
The CustomTextSelectionMenu class:
public class CustomTextSelectionMenu extends FragmentActivity implements android.view.ActionMode.Callback {
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext);
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(android.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
menu.removeItem(android.R.id.selectAll);
menu.removeItem(android.R.id.paste);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(android.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(android.view.ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
// Just a lot of switch cases inside here...
return true;
}
}
I think, there is no way to scroll the text selection menu.
But you can do is, show the few menu items say 2 or 3 as showAsAction="always" and the rest of the menu items are automatically can be shown in overflow menu.
I want to be able to show the free-dot menu always without using ActionBar. Just 3 dots menu + items in it, that's it.
How can I do that? Here's my code
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MyMainActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/empty"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="#string/dot_menu"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_more">
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/item1"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="#string/item1" />
<item
android:id="#+id/item2"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="#string/item2" />
<!-- ........... -->
And:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
//.....
}
It doesn't show a menu at all.
Try this code, I hope it's helpful.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:id="#+id/item_admin"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/item_admin"

I am new in android developing anyone can help me how to show icon in option menu. Thanks in advance!
By default the overflow menu will disable the icon and only show text, you need some workaround.
1st way
You can enable it by adding the following codes into your class
#Override
public boolean onMenuOpened(int featureId, Menu menu)
{
if(featureId == Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR && menu != null){
if(menu.getClass().getSimpleName().equals("MenuBuilder")){
try{
Method m = menu.getClass().getDeclaredMethod(
"setOptionalIconsVisible", Boolean.TYPE);
m.setAccessible(true);
m.invoke(menu, true);
}
catch(NoSuchMethodException e){
Log.e(TAG, "onMenuOpened", e);
}
catch(Exception e){
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
return super.onMenuOpened(featureId, menu);
}
2nd way
Create your own overflow item and a nested menu to show both the icon and the text.
Example,
<item
android:id="#+id/overflow"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_overflow_white"
android:orderInCategory="201"
android:title="#string/overflow"
app:showAsAction="always">
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/cab_menu_select_all"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_select_all_grey"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/cab_menu_select_all"
app:showAsAction="always|withText"></item>
</menu>
</item>
try this code its works for you
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="#string/action_search"/>
<!-- Settings, should always be in the overflow -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_location_found"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_location_found"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="#string/action_location_found"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_overflow"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_menu"
android:orderInCategory="11111"
android:showAsAction="always">
<menu>
<!-- Refresh -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_refresh"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="#string/action_refresh"/>
<!-- Help -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_help"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_help"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_help"/>
<!-- Check updates -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_check_updates"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_refresh"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_check_updates"/>
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
- See more at: http://www.theappguruz.com/blog/android-working-android-actionbar#sthash.ArNQTEBF.dpuf
Create your menu xml as follow
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_item_action_parameters"
android:title="#string/text_parameters"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_parameter"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"/> >
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_dropdown1"
android:title="#string/dropdown_1" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_dropdown2"
android:title="#string/dropdown2" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_dropdown3"
android:title="#string/dropdown3" />
</menu>
</item>
<item
more item
</item>
Then
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id) {
case R.id.action_dropdown1:
.....
return true;
case R.id.action_dropdown2:
.....
return true;
.....
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
this is completely working code.Mark this answer up if it helps. :) Happy coding.
you Need to add tools:context="your class" to menu tag
<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=".activities.BaseActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_notification1"
android:icon="#drawable/one"
android:title="action_notification"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_notification2"
android:icon="#drawable/two"
android:title="action_notification"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_notification3"
android:icon="#drawable/three"
android:title="action_notification"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
you shold write tool:context to menu tag then run you will get icons to your text
I want to display my menu items on ActionBar with android
I found some samples but It was not what I wanted
Menu should be similar picture below(Overflow Icon or text)
My menu.xml is :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:visible="true"
android:title="Refresh"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Settings">
<item
android:id="#+id/mapMenu"
android:title="map menu" />
<item
android:id="#+id/favMenu"
android:title="favorite" />
<item
android:id="#+id/listMenu"
android:title="List Menu" />
</item>
and my android code :
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), item.getTitle() + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.mapMenu:
// do something
break;
case R.id.favMenu:
// do something
break;
case R.id.listMenu:
// do something
break;
}
return true;
}
Once write following in all item tags
android:showAsAction="never"
then all items will display in overflow.
Ex:
<item
android:id="#+id/mapMenu"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="map menu" />
Hope this will helps you.
If you want to show the three dots, irrespective of device menu button, then you can call below code (which is based on reflection) in your application class' onCreate method-
try {
ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(this);
Field menuKeyField = ViewConfiguration.class.getDeclaredField("sHasPermanentMenuKey");
if(menuKeyField != null) {
menuKeyField.setAccessible(true);
menuKeyField.setBoolean(config, false);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Caution: This is an awful hack that breaks consistency with the rest
of the apps on the platform
Thanks all
but I added android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" and result is :
I also tested android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" and menu items hid
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/main_menu"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:visible="true">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="Refresh"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Settings"
android:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/mapMenu"
android:title="map menu"
android:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/favMenu"
android:title="favorite"
android:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/listMenu"
android:title="List Menu"
android:showAsAction="never" />
</item>
</menu>
android:showAsAction: When and how this item should appear as an action item in the Action Bar. A menu item can appear as an action item only when the activity includes an ActionBar (introduced in API Level 11).
Try the given code. First you create root item keep its android:showAsAction:Always then inside that root item create other items with android:showAsAction:never.
I have two menu items in menu/contacts_menu.xml as :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" >
<item
android:id="#+id/pm_action_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"
android:title="#string/action_search"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/show_online"
android:icon="#drawable/online_icon"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="Show Online"/>
</menu>
Where , in my Fragment :
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.contacts_menu, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.show_online) {
// DO SOMETHING
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I have done the same procedure in my others apps, and action items are showing. But in my current app, they are not showing. only if i press the menu button, action items are showing only with text. i want to show the icons on my action bar.
I guess you are using appcompat library? Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:appcompat="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/pm_action_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
appcompat:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
android:title="#string/action_search" />
<item
android:id="#+id/show_online"
android:icon="#drawable/online_icon"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:showAsAction="always"
appcompat:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Show Online" />
</menu>
This should definitely work, but for simplicity you can also try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:appcompat="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/pm_action_search"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:orderInCategory="1"
appcompat:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
android:title="#string/action_search" />
<item
android:id="#+id/show_online"
android:icon="#drawable/online_icon"
android:orderInCategory="2"
appcompat:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Show Online" />
</menu>
