Working with OptionsMenu in nested fragment not updating - android

I displayed a fragment A that implements a ViewPager with several fragments (nested fragments).
In my nested fragments, I inflate a menu with the following method.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
This question was already asked here. And i tried all the answers its not working.
My issue is
Everything working fine.but when i open another fragment(it have not any option menu) and get back to previous view pager fragment while clicking menu item onOptionsItemSelected not firing. When i swipe fragment in viewpager and come back to the previous one, when i click menu item its firing.

Its because viewpager maintain 3 fragment alive at a time. so when you come back, it set menu visibility status true to last fragment. thats why your menu item click not firing.
Use the following in the fragment where you keeping a viewpager in your case fragment A.
private boolean isInitial=true;
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (!isInitial) {
int pos = viewpager.getCurrentItem();
if (pageAdapter.getItem(pos).getUserVisibleHint() && pageAdapter.getItem(pos).isVisible()) {
pageAdapter.getItem(pos).setMenuVisibility(true);
}
} else {
isInitial = false;
}
}

Show navigation drawer menu item only when a Fragment is shown

I am trying to show a button in the actionbar when a Fragment is shown and to hide the button when the other Fragment are shown.
I Override the onCreateOptionsMenu method:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
MenuItem item= menu.findItem(R.id.action_example);
item.setVisible(true);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu,inflater);
}
And use setHasOptionMenu(true):
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
I have done a test and I noticed that initially the button doesn't appear in the other Fragment , but after I open the Fragment in which I put this code above, the button is shown also in the other Fragment.
What you are missing is removing the optionsMenu in the onDestroy of the fragment. The behaviour you describe is logical with your code: when the Fragment is created you also create the options menu. It will not automatically be destroyed when the Fragment is destroyed.

how to remove menu from fragment back pressed android

I am developing a application that should support on both phone and tablet.
In this application i am using fragments from android.
Now the flow of the application is like
MainActivity --> Fragment1 --> Fragment2
In this application , i want a menu item that should show only in Fragment2 along with activity's menu items.
So i have tried one solution like adding globle menu items in MainActivity and in Fragment2 replacing the whole MainActivity's menu with Fragment2 specific Menu.
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
inside onCreateView , and implement this method.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_f, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu,inflater);
}
Now its work exactly fine for phone layout , but when its come to tablet problem arise.
Here is my ScreenShots.
Fragment 1
Fragment 1 and Fragment 2 combination when pressing 9 in keybord(Tablet mode ).
And Finally when i pressed 9 again to come back to pHone view it shows me extra menu item.
I just marked a extra menu item in Image. So why this me coming and how can i resolve it ?
You need to hide the menu group like this in your fragment 1
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
it'll make a call to onPrepareOptionsMenu where you can hide your menu group added by fragment2
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.setGroupVisible(0, false);
}

OptionsMenu of Fragments in Viewpager showing each other's Buttons

I've got three fragments in a viewpager.
Two of these fragments have their own version of the onCreateOptionsMenu method:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
// Set up 1 action button
inflater.inflate(R.menu.home_snapshot_add, menu);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
// Set up 2 action buttons
inflater.inflate(R.menu.home_snapshot_send, menu);
}
The home activity has a basic onCreateOptionsMenu method:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
return false;
}
In the onCreate method, each fragment calls the method:
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
Each of the menu items have the tag:
android:showAsAction="always"
Seems like as I open the Activity, all three buttons appear.
However, when I scroll through them, the wrong ones magically disappear.
It feels like the activity is calling every Fragment's options menu on Activity creation and then changes the menu appropriately when I swipe left and right.
I've checked the menus but not sure what's wrong.
Anything you reckon I need to check? I'm a little out of ideas.
Thanks!
In your ViewPager's OnPageChangeListener and after setting the adapter to the ViewPager, have this:
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position){
invalidateFragmentMenus(position);
}
private void invalidateFragmentMenus(int position){
for(int i = 0; i < mViewPagerFragentAdapter.getCount(); i++){
mViewPagerAdapter.getItem(i).setHasOptionsMenu(i == position);
}
invalidateOptionsMenu(); //or respectively its support method.
}
After setting your fragment adapter call the same method with following argument:
invalidateFragmentMenus(mViewPager.getCurrentItem());
The above statements will prevent all other fragments not to receive call on onCreateOptionsMenu() method when invalidateOptionsMenu() is called, only the currently visible fragment will receive and be able to populate the options menu.
I've used this and it has worked for me:
//In your Fragment
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
setHasOptionsMenu(isVisible());
}

Access Fragment's Menu within a FragmentStatePagerAdapter

I use a FragmentStatePagerAdapter to display fragments inside a ViewPager.
These fragments display 2 additional icons on top of the ones coming from the parent Activity.
These 2 icons are showed/hidden according to fragment displayed, so I tried to keep the Menu inflated in memory in order to modify it dynamically.
On my ViewPager, 3 fragments are always loaded, only the middle one is displayed.
The problem is the following: it seems that onCreateOptionsMenu and onPrepareOptionsMenu are called only for the first Fragment created, because of this, I get null pointers when I try to get the menu on the other fragments. Please see the code below:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
//Get the 2 icons for the rates
inflater.inflate(R.menu.rate_fragment, menu);
//Get activity's icons
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
mMenu = menu;
}
Here are the functions I use to hide/show the menu items:
private void hideOption(int id){
MenuItem item = mMenu.findItem(id);
if(item != null){
item.setVisible(false);
}
}
private void showOption(int id){
MenuItem item = mMenu.findItem(id);
if(item != null){
item.setVisible(true);
}
}
But these functions fail as soon as the system tries to load the second Fragment.
My guess is that the menu is only created once for the FragmentStatePagerAdapter, but then how can I modify dynamically the menu? Do I have to modify it using the Activity?
Thanks!

FragmentStatePageAdapter duplicates ActionBar menu items

I have a problem with FragmentStatePageAdapter (that I use as adapter for a ViewPager) and the menu items from the action bar.
When I launch the application, everything is fine. If I move the task to background (for example, pressing HOME button) and I start doing stuff until the activity is ended, then when I go back to my application (through the launcher or a notification I create) everything is fine except there are duplicated menu items in the action bar.
An important detail is that the only duplicated items are those that are created in the onCreateOptionsMenu() of each fragment I use in the ViewPager.
If I replaceFragmentStatePageAdapter with FragmentPageAdapter the items are not duplicated anymore, but the fragments are not shown in the ViewPager (getItem() function from the adapter is never called so it does not return any fragment).
Any ideas? A way to avoid FragmentStatePageAdapter to duplicate menu items? Maybe use FragmentPageAdapter but with a modification to show the fragments? A modification in my fragments?
Here are some code snippets from my application...
How menu items are created inside the fragments:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
/* Create play button */
final MenuItem mPlay = menu.add(R.string.play_all);
mPlay.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_play_all);
mPlay.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
mPlay.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
final List<Song> songs = getSongs();
if (songs.size() == 0) {
/* Show message */
Toast.makeText(mContext, R.string.no_song_list, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
/* Play song list */
try { PlayManager.getService().playList(songs); } catch (Exception e) {}
}
return false;
}
});
/* Create menu */
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
How fragments are instantiated in the ViewPager adapter
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
final Class<?> cls = mTabs.get(position);
/* No tab */
if (cls == null)
return null;
/* Instantiate fragment */
final Fragment fragment = Fragment.instantiate(mContext, cls.getName(), null);
/* Add to list */
mFragments.put(position, fragment);
/* Return fragment */
return fragment;
}
Thanks!
PS: I tried to change the launchMode of the activity to "singleTop" and I also tried to return in getItem() the previosly created fragment (but that's useless as getItem() is never called when I return to the application, as I said before).
I found a solution to my problem a few days after posting my problem. I'm sorry for putting it here so late.
The following code fixed my problem:
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.remove("android:support:fragments");
}
As simple as writing that piece of code in the activity where I instantiate and use the fragments.
I hope this helps :)
Before inflating the options menu in your Fragment inside the ViewPager, check whether the Fragment instance is visible to prevent duplicated menu items:
// This should be in your Fragment implementation
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater)
{
if(isVisible())
{
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_fragment, menu);
}
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
I assume the problem is that the FragmentStatePagerAdapter creates a new Fragment each time you swipe. As a result, onCreateOptionsMenu() is called for each Fragment that is created.
There are, I think, two solutions:
Take the action bar manipulation out of the Fragments. Instead of setting an onclick for the menu item inside of the Fragment, you send a message to the current Fragment from the Activity.
Use Menu.findItem() to see if another Fragment has already added the MenuItem you want, and if so attach the current Fragment to it (in onPrepareOptionsMenu()).
I found some solution try it may be work
In your duplicate menu fragment
Add menu.clear() before inflate menu file in onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater)
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main,menu);
}
