Duplicate Menu and Data in Fragments after using FragmentStatePagerAdapter - android

I tried so many answers provided by various posts here but nothing worked for me.
Problem- I have navigation drawer that has 6 fragments but single activity. Everything worked fine till I changed 1st ranked fragment in drawer. I wanted Swipe tabs inside first fragment. So I used FragmentStatePagerAdapter.
Each fragment has its own menu along with MainActivity Menu.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Notify the system to allow an options menu for this fragment.
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
And inflated like this:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.story, menu);
}
Everything works fine. But When I visit other fragments in navigation drawer then it shows duplicate menu in toolbar. It creates more duplicates if there is space left in toolbar when I visit other fragments.
Try 1 : To solve this problem I initially used:
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.clear();
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.story, menu);
}
With this I don't get duplicate menu but now I don't see MainActivity menus.
Try 2:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
getActivity().invalidateOptionsMenu();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.story, menu);
}
With this I get both Fragment and Activity menu but Duplicates are there.
This should be easy to solve but I am not picking up a way to deal with this. Maybe I didn't understand the life cycle well?
My other approach- Implementing all menus in Fragments will do the trick but this should be our last option.
Solution to this - To maintain both Menu all I have to do is this (Very easy solution):
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.story, menu);
getActivity().getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
Problem 2 OnOptionsItemSelected method from 1st fragment is getting called in other fragments.

private void hideAllMenuItems() {
if (actionBarMenu != null) {
actionBarMenu.findItem(R.id.action_item1).setVisible(false);
actionBarMenu.findItem(R.id.action_item2).setVisible(false);
}
}
private void showMenuIcon() {
if (actionBarMenu != null) {
hideAllMenuItems();
if (currentFragment instanceof Fragment1)
actionBarMenu.findItem(R.id.action_item1).setVisible(true);
else if (currentFragment instanceof Fragment2)
actionBarMenu.findItem(R.id.action_item2).setVisible(true);
}
}
call shoeMenuIcon() each time new fragment load..
Hope you are looking for this

Add Menu to Activity's supportToolBar from a Fragment

I have an Activity with a Toolbar that I set as the supportActionBar. From this Activity I have various Fragments each with a customized ActionBar. I am able to call menu.clear() to remove the existing Menu but I am however unable to add another Menu in the same Fragment. This seems strange because menu.clear() behaves just as I would expect, but when calling inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_custom_menu,menu); appears to do nothing.
Example Fragment where I wish to modify the supportActionBar:
#Override
public void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
actionBar = ((AppCompatActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
mGroupViewModel =
ViewModelProviders.of(requireActivity()).get(GroupsViewModel.class);
}
...
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
//Inflating seems to do nothing.
Log.i(TAG,"IN THE ONCREATEOPTIONSMENU FOR FRAGMENT.");
inflater.inflate(R.menu.group_edit_toolbar,menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
Log.i(TAG,"ONPREPARE OPTIONS MENU IN FRAGMENT.");
menu.clear();
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Clearly there is something I don't understand but I can't narrow down on what that problem is.
Would a better approach be to have each Fragment have their own Toolbar instead of all my fragments modifying the hosting activity's supportActionBar?
UPDATE
After further testing, I notice that if I try to assign a local MenuItem in my Fragment, I receive a null pointer exception unless I first inflate a menu in the Fragment itself. This is leading me to think that I am not hijacking control of the Activity's supportActionBar in the Fragment, but rather am trying to create a separate ActionBar for the Fragment. Would anyone be able to supplement my thinking here?
Fragment's menu callbacks:
MenuItem editItem;
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
Log.i(TAG,"IN ONCREATEOPTIONS");
menu.clear();
//MUST INFLATE MENU OTHERWISE WE GET NULL ERROR.
inflater.inflate(R.menu.home_actionbar,menu);
editItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_edit_group);
Log.i(TAG,"edititem: "+editItem.getItemId());
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
// This is called every time the Menu opens.
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
Log.i(TAG,"IN THE on prepare FOR FRAGMENT.");
menu.findItem(R.id.action_create_group).setVisible(false);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_create_group).setEnabled(false);
if(owner.equals(currUser)){
menu.findItem(R.id.action_edit_group).setEnabled(true);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_edit_group).setVisible(true);
} else {
menu.findItem(R.id.action_edit_group).setVisible(false);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_edit_group).setEnabled(false);
}
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
onPrepareOptionsMenu is always called after onCreateOptionsMenu and there you're deleting your recently inflated menu!
Just delete onPrepareOptionsMenu and it should work fine.

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());
}

Hide/Show Action Bar Option Menu Item for different fragments

I have a Sherlock Fragment Activity in which there are 3 Fragments.
Fragment A, Fragment B, Fragment C are three fragments. I want to show a done option menu in Fragment B only.
And the activity is started with Fragment A. When Fragment B is selected done button is added.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
if(!menusInflated){
inflater.inflate(R.menu.security, menu);
menusInflated=true;
}
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
When I again start Fragment A I want to options Menu DONE (which was set at Fragment B) for this I am doing like this
setHasOptionsMenu(false);
MenuItem item = (MenuItem) menu.findItem(R.id.done_item);
item.setVisible(false);
But this is not hiding at all, also it is giving NullPointerException when Activity if first started with Fragment A.
Please let me know what is the problem.
Try this...
You don't need to override onCreateOptionsMenu() in your Fragment class again. Menu items visibility can be changed by overriding onPrepareOptionsMenu() method available in Fragment class.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).setVisible(false);
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
This is one way of doing this:
add a "group" to your menu:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<group
android:id="#+id/main_menu_group">
<item android:id="#+id/done_item"
android:title="..."
android:icon="..."
android:showAsAction="..."/>
</group>
</menu>
then, add a
Menu menu;
variable to your activity and set it in your override of onCreateOptionsMenu:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
this.menu = menu;
// inflate your menu here
}
After, add and use this function to your activity when you'd like to show/hide the menu:
public void showOverflowMenu(boolean showMenu){
if(menu == null)
return;
menu.setGroupVisible(R.id.main_menu_group, showMenu);
}
I am not saying this is the best/only way, but it works well for me.
To show action items (action buttons) in the ActionBar of fragments where they are only needed, do this:
Lets say you want the save button to only show in the fragment where you accept input for items and not in the Fragment where you view a list of items, add this to the OnCreateOptionsMenu method of the Fragment where you view the items:
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
if (menu != null) {
menu.findItem(R.id.action_save_item).setVisible(false);
}
}
NOTE: For this to work, you need the onCreate() method in your Fragment (where you want to hide item button, the item view fragment in our example) and add setHasOptionsMenu(true) like this:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
Might not be the best option, but it works and it's simple.
This will work for sure I guess...
// Declare
Menu menu;
MenuItem menuDoneItem;
// Then in your onCreateOptionMenu() method write the following...
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
this.menu=menu;
inflater.inflate(R.menu.secutity, menu);
}
// In your onOptionItemSelected() method write the following...
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.done_item:
this.menuDoneItem=item;
someOperation();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
// Now Making invisible any menu item...
public void menuInvisible(){
setHasOptionsMenu(true);// Take part in populating the action bar menu
menuDoneItem=(MenuItem)menu.findItem(R.id.done_item);
menuRefresh.setVisible(false); // make true to make the menu item visible.
}
//Use the above method whenever you need to make your menu item visible or invisiable
You can also refer this link for more details, it is a very useful one.
MenuItem Import = menu.findItem(R.id.Import);
Import.setVisible(false)
Try this
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.custom_actionbar, menu);
menu.setGroupVisible(...);
}
By setting the Visibility of all items in Menu, the appbar menu or overflow menu will be Hide automatically
Example
private Menu menu_change_language;
...
...
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
...
...
menu_change_language = menu;
menu_change_language.findItem(R.id.menu_change_language).setVisible(true);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Before going to other fragment use bellow code:
if(menu_change_language != null){
menu_change_language.findItem(R.id.menu_change_language)
.setVisible(false);
}
Hello I got the best solution of this, suppose if u have to hide a particular item at on create Menu method and show that item in other fragment. I am taking an example of two menu item one is edit and other is delete. e.g menu xml is as given below:
sell_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_edit"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_edit_white_shadow_24dp"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Edit" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_delete"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_delete_white_shadow_24dp"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Delete" />
Now Override the two method in your activity & make a field variable mMenu as:
private Menu mMenu; // field variable
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.sell_menu, menu);
this.mMenu = menu;
menu.findItem(R.id.action_delete).setVisible(false);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.action_delete) {
// do action
return true;
} else if (item.getItemId() == R.id.action_edit) {
// do action
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
Make two following method in your Activity & call them from fragment to hide and show your menu item. These method are as:
public void showDeleteImageOption(boolean status) {
if (menu != null) {
menu.findItem(R.id.action_delete).setVisible(status);
}
}
public void showEditImageOption(boolean status) {
if (menu != null) {
menu.findItem(R.id.action_edit).setVisible(status);
}
}
That's Solve from my side,I think this explanation will help you.
You can make a menu for each fragment, and a global variable that mark which fragment is in use now.
and check the value of the variable in onCreateOptionsMenu and inflate the correct menu
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
if (fragment_it == 6) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.custom_actionbar, menu);
}
}
Okay I spend couple of hour to get this solution.apparently you can get menuitem from your toolbar to anywhere in activity or fragment. So in my case.
var menuItem = toolbar.menu;
Now to get specfic item from menu item
favIcon = menuItem.findItem(R.id.favourite);
Note: favIcon is MenuItem declare global
Now if you can do whatever you want to do for this icon
eg. to make it invisible
favIcon?.isVisible=false
Even though the question is old and answered. There is a simpler answer to that than the above mentioned. You don't need to use any other variables.
You can create the buttons on action bar whatever the fragment you want, instead of doing the visibility stuff(show/hide).
Add the following in the fragment whatever u need the menu item.
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
Sample menu.xml file:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_addFlat"
android:icon="#drawable/add"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/action_addFlat"/>
</menu>
Handling onclick events is as usual.
Late to the party but the answers above didn't seem to work for me.
My first tab fragment (uses getChildFragmentManager() for inner tabs) has the menu to show a search icon and uses android.support.v7.widget.SearchView to search within the inner tab fragment but navigating to other tabs (which also have inner tabs using getChildFragmentManager()) would not remove the search icon (as not required) and therefore still accessible with no function, maybe as I am using the below (ie outer main tabs with each inner tabs)
getChildFragmentManager();
However I use the below in my fragments containing/using the getChildFragmentManager() for inner tabs.
//region onCreate
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRetainInstance(true);
//access setHasOptionsMenu()
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
//endregion onCreate
and then clear the menu item inside onPrepareOptionsMenu for fragments(search icon & functions)
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
//clear the menu/hide the icon & disable the search access/function ...
//this will clear the menu entirely, so rewrite/draw the menu items after if needed
menu.clear();
}
Works well and navigating back to the tab/inner tab with the search icon functions re displays the search icon & functions.
Hope this helps...
For some reason the method was not working for me this is how I solved it according to the accepted solution
//This should be in on create
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
showOverflowMenu(false);
}
},100);
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
this.menu = menu;
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
return true;
}
public void showOverflowMenu(boolean showMenu){
if(menu == null)
return;
menu.setGroupVisible(R.id.grp, showMenu);
}

ABS Menu Item not appearing in Android 2.3

I am implementing ABS within my application, and I have a FragmentPagerAdapter that allows the user to swipe/select different tabs.
Each of these tabs contains a different fragment. Basically, my problem is that on an Android 2.3.6 device that I'm testing with, when the activity is first called, the first tab-fragment doesn't inflate the menu it is supposed to. However, once I swipe to another tab and go back, it appears.
Here is the code within the fragment:
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.clear();
MenuInflater inflater = getSherlockActivity().getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_ongoing_fragment, menu);
}
Meanwhile, it works completely fine on an Android 4.2 device (the menu is inflated the first time the activity is launched) Does it have something to do with the order in which these two devices are calling the methods?
It's not working because of this:
menu.clear();
Remove that.
You should have the following code on your fragment:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
};
and instead of "onPrepareOptionsMenu()" use this:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_ongoing_fragment, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
I hope this solves your problem!

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);
}
