onCreateOptionsMenu() override not being called in BaseActivity

My base activity displays the toolbar but has no title, burger or overflow menus on the bar. I can not figure out how to get the menus to show. Any help would be much appreciated! onCreateOptionsMenu() is not being called in the base activity when I debug.
BaseActivity
public abstract class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_base);
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open,
R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView)
findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
#Override
public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
final DrawerLayout fullView = (DrawerLayout)
getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_base, null);
FrameLayout activityContainer = (FrameLayout)
fullView.findViewById(R.id.activity_content);
getLayoutInflater().inflate(layoutResID, activityContainer, true);
super.setContentView(fullView);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
}
myActivity
public class myActivity extends BaseActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_scan_item);
}
}
Any idea what I am missing to make this work? I have read around and am really struggling to fix this!

Navigation Drawer with toolbar Implementation in multiple activites latest code

i created navigation drawer in base activity and extends in main activity but there is no result in main activity
Here is my code:
BaseActivity Java code:
public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
ListView mDrawerList;
String[] items;
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
Toolbar toolbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer_list);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.tool_bar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
items = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.menu);
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.drawer_list_item, items));
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close){
};
mDrawerLayout.addDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
});
}
public void selectItem(int position){
Intent intent;
switch (position)
{
case 0:
intent = new Intent(this,OneActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
case 1:
intent = new Intent(this,TwoActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
}
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
}
And here is my Xml Code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:toolbar="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/tool_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
toolbar:navigationIcon="#drawable/ic_navigation">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/drawer_list"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/holo_blue_dark"
android:dividerHeight="1dp">
</ListView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And here is MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(layout.activity_main);
}
}
suggest me the right answer

create a constructor in baseActivity class and call your defined functions of baseActivity class in constructor and than call that constructor in your MainActivity class function onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState).

Change ActionBarDrawerToggle icon android in toolbar?

I have an activity with navigation drawer and toolbar

mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
tvTitle = (CustomTextViewMondaRegular) findViewById(R.id.actionTitle);
tvTitle.setText(getIntent().getStringExtra("title"));
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new NavAdapter(getApplicationContext()));
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,toolbar,
R.string.title_activity_main, R.string.title_activity_main) {
#Override

super.onDrawerClosed(view);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
#Override

The toggle icon currently shows the default icon. I need to change that icon. How can I do that?

For people who come across this SO question in future,
We have to disable drawer indicator
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
and then set ToolBar's navigation button
mToolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.navIcon);
P.S. after that we have to set Navigation click listner on toolbar and open NavigationDrawer manualy.
like
mToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener :D

Try the code below:
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu_drawer);

mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
and open the drawer with
mImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
DrawerLayout drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.openDrawer(Gravity.START);
}
});

You can set the menu icon using setHomeAsUpIndicator, pass a drawable to this method.
See code below:
ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar();
ab.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu);
ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

drawer icon in Actionbar is show me a error when I click then

Im using Android Studio 1.2
The icon drawer in actionbar is give me an error when I click then but is work fine If I open it sliding with the hand from the left to the rigth.

In my class java
public class ListaPat extends Activity {
public ArrayList<Pat> lstPat= new ArrayList<Pat>();
private Pat_Adaptador adaptador;

ListView leftDrawerList;
String[] leftSliderData = new String[]{"test1","test2"};

navigationDrawerAdapter= new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>( ListaPat .this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, leftSliderData);
leftDrawerList.setAdapter(navigationDrawerAdapter);
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this,
mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
}
};
RellenarNoticias();
InicializarLista();
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
if(mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(leftDrawerList)) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(leftDrawerList);
}
else {
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(leftDrawerList);
}
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

You need to extend either ActionbarActivity, or AppCompatActivity, and use a Toolbar widget to be in the beginning of your Activity. In your activities on create, do the following:
public class YourActivity extends ActionBarActivity{
...
...
private Toolbar mToolbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_layout);
mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
//Set toggle with toolbar now!
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this,
mDrawerLayout,
mToolbar,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
}
};
And for your Toolbar that lives in your activity xml (the very first element for your layout!)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:background="#color/primary_color"
android:title="#string/app_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="CreateSomeStyleHereIfYouNeed"
app:popupTheme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

I fix the problem changing this function
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
if(mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(leftDrawerList)) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(leftDrawerList);
}
else {
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(leftDrawerList);
}
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
New function that fix the problem
#Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)){ return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); }

Android DrawerLayout doesn't work

I'm trying to use the DrawerLayout with ActionBarDrawerToggle.
see my code below:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getName();
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_main);
FeedsFragment feeds = new FeedsFragment();
if (findViewById(R.id.main) != null) {
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this,
mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.main, feeds).commit();
} else if (findViewById(R.id.content) != null) {
NavDrawerFragment nav = new NavDrawerFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.nav, nav)
.add(R.id.content, feeds)
.commit();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration config) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(config);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(config);
}
}
and my view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!--<include layout="#layout/nav" />-->
<fragment
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.primeirochute.com.primeirochute.fragment.NavDrawerFragment"
tools:layout="#layout/nav" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
But when I run my project, the left menu (DrawerLayout) just show on my screen doesn't make the slider event.

Finaly works:
I just added the gravity="start" at my second view
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!--<include layout="#layout/nav" />-->
<fragment
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.primeirochute.com.primeirochute.fragment.NavDrawerFragment"
tools:layout="#layout/nav" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Uses the function onOptionsItemSelected and control the drawer event:
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int itemID = item.getItemId();
switch (itemID) {
case android.R.id.home: {
DrawerLayout drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (drawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(Gravity.LEFT)) {
drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
}
else {
drawerLayout.openDrawer(Gravity.LEFT);
}
}
break;
return true;
}
I hope it works for your case.
