I have a contextual action bar, where I have a setting called "DELETE". When I press that button I want the CAB menu to disappear.
class MyActionModeCallBack implements android.view.ActionMode.Callback {
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(android.view.ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
actionMode.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.event_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(android.view.ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(android.view.ActionMode actionMode, MenuItem menuItem) {
int id = menuItem.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.delete) {
*******
_root.removeView(view);
// This is where I want to remove the CAB menu
*******
}
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(android.view.ActionMode actionMode) {
((RelativeLayout)view).removeAllViews();
view.setBackgroundColor(0xFF00FF00);
view.setTag(R.string.viewSelected, "0");
}
}
I was thinking about calling the onDestroyActionMode() right after the _root.removeView(view);, but I don't know what arguments to pass in.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
If you are trying to hide the item being selected, you can call
menuItem.setVisible(false);
Alternatively, if you want to remove all items from the menu, you can call
optionsMenu.clear();
in the onActionItemClicked() method.
You can save your menu to a field in your onCreateOptionsMenu method as follows:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(final Menu menu) {
optionsMenu = menu
}
Call actionMode.finish(). This will invoke the onDestroyActionMode() callback.

How can I remove the three dots to the right of my SearchView ?
set false in onPrepareOptionsMenu
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) {
return false;
}
Maybe this helps you
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_activity, menu);
MenuItem searchMI = (MenuItem) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_search);
searchMI.setOnActionExpandListener(new OnActionExpandListener(){
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem menuItem) {
// Hide menu icon
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem menuItem) {
// Show menu icon
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
You can show or hide icons like this:
menu.findItem(R.id.yourActionId).setVisible(true);
menu.findItem(R.id.yourActionId).setVisible(false);
You need to hide all others menu items one by one...
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand (MenuItem item){
menu.getItem(MENU_MAIN_REFRESH).setVisible(false);
menu.getItem(MENU_MAIN_SETTINGS).setVisible(false);
menu.getItem(MENU_MAIN_EXIT).setVisible(false);
return true;
}
I got a need to change the menu items dynamically during a click event of menu items.
So I implemented onOptionsItemSelected in an activity.
public class ResultActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main_actions, menu);
return true;
}
}
and i'm calling invalidateOptionsMenu in the onOptionsItemSelected method which inturn should call the onPrepareOptionsMenu
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id){
case R.id.action_group: {
invalidateOptionsMenu();
break;
}
}
}
Also, I am trying to remove one item from menu in onPrepareOptionsMenu method.
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
Log.d(TAG,"In onPrepareOptionsMenu");
menu.removeItem(R.id.action_group);
Log.d(TAG,"Group icon is removed");
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
The problem is, item is deleted during the launch of activity rather than wait until corresponding menu item is clicked.
Can someone tell what the problem is.. TIA
The problem is that onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu) gets called anyway, anytime your menu needs to be shown or reloaded. That includes calls coming from invalidateOptionsMenu(), but also from the Activity being created.
You could, for example, check for a boolean state before actually removing the item.
public boolean mRemoveItem;
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id){
case R.id.action_group: {
mRemoveItem = true;
invalidateOptionsMenu();
break;
}
}
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
if (mRemoveItem) {
menu.removeItem(R.id.action_group);
}
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
According to your needs, you will need to set mRemoveItem back to false at some point in your code.
I have an ActionBarActivity that has two tabs. I have implemented a ActionMode.Callback in tab1(fragment1). Now i want to implement it in tab2(fragment2) as well. The problem is that the tab1 Contextual action bar is active even after i swipe to tab2. This means a CAB is meant to be implemented for an activity, not for specific fragment.
So what is the approach to take to have different CABs in two fragments hosted in the same activity?
In the onCreateActionMode callback save a reference of the ActionMode in your fragment, and then in your fragment's onPause you can finish your action. Example:
protected class MultiChoiceModeListener implements AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener {
#Override
public void onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode mode, int position, long id, boolean checked) {
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
ConversationFragment.this.actionMode = mode;
MenuInflater menuInflater = getActivity().getMenuInflater();
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_delete_conversation, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(final ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
ConversationFragment.this.actionMode = null;
}
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (actionMode != null) {
actionMode.finish();
}
}
So my problem right now is that right now I am long clicking an item in a ListView which brings up a contextual action bar. The id passed into onItemLongClick is the variable that I would like to use in the mActionModeCallback's on ActionItemClicked() method. This seems like it would be a fairly common procedure since if a user is editing a list of items, you would want to access the id of that row in the database somehow when the user clicked an "edit" or a "delete" action.
listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> p, View view, int pos, long id) {
//The id of the row in the database
long variableThatIWantToPassToCallback = id;
mActionMode = getActivity().startActionMode(mActionModeCallback);
view.setSelected(true);
return true;
}
});
private ActionMode.Callback mActionModeCallback = new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {}
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
//I would like access to the id of the clicked item here, NOT item.getItemId()
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {}
};
The proper way to do this is to call mActionMode.setTag("1") in onItemCheckedStateChanged and then from the onActionItemClicked function call mode.getTag();
Create your own callback by extending the interface ActionMode.Callback
private interface ActionCallback extends ActionMode.Callback {
public void setClickedView(View view);
}
private ActionCallback mActionModeCallback = new ActionCallback() {
public View mClickedView;
public void setClickedView(View view) {
mClickedView = view;
}
// Called when the action mode is created; startActionMode() was called
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// Inflate a menu resource providing context menu items
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);
return true;
}
// Called each time the action mode is shown. Always called after onCreateActionMode, but
// may be called multiple times if the mode is invalidated.
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false; // Return false if nothing is done
}
// Called when the user selects a contextual menu item
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item ) {
switch ( item.getItemId() ) {
case R.id.menu_delete:
Log.v( TAG, "#onActionItemClicked ready to delete the item with id: " + mClickedView.getTag() );
mode.finish(); // Action picked, so close the CAB
return true;
default:
return false;
} // end switch
}
// Called when the user exits the action mode
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
mActionMode = null;
}
};
For a view which has OnLongClickListener attached, override the onLongClick callback this way.
#Override
// Called when the user long-clicks on someView
public boolean onLongClick( View view ) {
// proceed only when actionmode is not null
// otherwise overlapping action modes will be
// displayed
if( mActionMode != null ) {
return false;
}
mActionModeCallback.setClickedView(view);
// Start the CAB using the ActionMode.Callback defined above
mActionMode = startActionMode( mActionModeCallback );
view.setSelected(true);
return true;
}
In Android if the textview is selected then a word gets selected and a contextual action bar comes at the top...i want to modify that CAB and make it look like a quick action bar...keeping the text selection feature intact...please help me...
you can select textview or anything like only in simple layout CAB appear in the top and there was some method onActionItemClicke that you want to click an item and then you modify your action in CAB default behavior................................
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
protected Object mActionMode;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
View view = findViewById(R.id.lay);
view.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
// Called when the user long-clicks on someView
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
if (mActionMode != null) {
return false;
}
mActionMode = MainActivity.this.startActionMode(mActionModeCallback);
view.setSelected(true);
return true;
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Just a test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
private ActionMode.Callback mActionModeCallback = new ActionMode.Callback() {
// Called when the action mode is created; startActionMode() was called
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// Inflate a menu resource providing context menu items
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
// Assumes that you have "contexual.xml" menu resources
inflater.inflate(R.menu.cab, menu);
return true;
}
// Called each time the action mode is shown. Always called after
// onCreateActionMode, but
// may be called multiple times if the mode is invalidated.
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false; // Return false if nothing is done
}
// Called when the user selects a contextual menu item
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.toast:
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Selected menu",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mode.finish(); // Action picked, so close the CAB
return true;
case R.id.shan:
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Selected shani",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mode.finish(); // Action picked, so close the CAB
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
// Called when the user exits the action mode
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
mActionMode = null;
}
};
}
and in menu xml file create menu that you would like to appear in top CAB
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/toast"
android:title="Toast">
</item>
<item
android:id="#+id/shan"
android:title="shani">
</item>
</menu>
