I have created a menu for my actionmode bar with icons but not all menu are showing with icon in actionmode bar. This is my menu xml file.
<?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/menu_archive"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_file_archive"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_remove"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_upload_to_cloud"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_file_cloud_upload"
android:orderInCategory="200"
android:title="#string/action_upload_to_cloud"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_delete"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_file_delete"
android:orderInCategory="300"
android:title="#string/action_move_to_trash"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
This is my code for creating Actionmode Bar.
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_actionmode_device_documents, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode) {
this.actionMode = null;
}
This image is my output which is showing only one icon of menu but i want all other icons too.
This may be a little too late, but I'm putting this answer in case someone else runs into the same problem. It seems the system does not keep count of the app:showAsAction="always" attribute.
The soulution is to update the menus manually in onPrepareActionMode
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_archive).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_upload_to_cloud).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_delete).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
return true;
}
This seems odd but it works.

mSearchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {

}
});
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
mSearchView.requestFocus();
return true;
}
This contradicts the documentation
Contrary to the case when using Search View in action bar the desired collapsible effect for search view while having other items in the action mode
use
app:showAsAction="always"
without collapseActionView !
I have a strange issue with submenus and android:checkableBehavior="single". It works fine if the menu is in action bar, but displays check boxes instead of radio buttons if menu is in the action mode. I use AppCompatActivity and create action mode with startActionMode().
menu xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/priority"
android:title="#string/priority"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom">
<menu>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/low_priority"
android:title="#string/low_pririty"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/normal_priority"
android:title="#string/normal_priority"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/high_priority"
android:title="#string/high_priority"/>
</group>
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
How can I fix this?
You menu works fine for me using the startSupportActionMode method instead of the startActionMode method. The startActionMode method should not be used when using the support library AppCompatActivity.
.startSupportActionMode(new android.support.v7.view.ActionMode.Callback() {
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.test_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode) {
}
});
I seen some of the applications like gmail and other apps in which where there's
an editText and textView while clicking on text long press i can see in the actionbar there's menu appear say cut, copy, select all ,share and lookup option appears.
This same behavior as a developer wanted to include in my application.
How can I achieve this?
Check this tutorial which will help you to create contextual actionbar
Reference : Tutorial : Contextual Action Bar (CAB) - Android
Code : GitHub : Contextual Action Bar (CAB)
Edit
In your EditText layout, add below property to show standard Android contextual menu for copy/paste.
android:textIsSelectable.
Check this tutorial as well.
If you want only copy you can set following tag in your xml of textview
android:textIsSelectable="true"
If you want search ,share options as means you have to create Contextual ActionBar as follows
add following in your activity
ActionMode mActionMode;
and you have to create an ActionMondeCallback interface
class ActionBarCallback implements ActionMode.Callback
{
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
mode.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.contextual_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if(id == R.id.item_delete)
{
tv.setText("");
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"option deleted",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
}
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
}
where contextual_menu.xml is as follows with required icons
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context="com.example.letschat"
>
<item
android:id="#+id/item_search"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="Delete"
android:titleCondensed="Delete">
</item>
<item
android:id="#+id/item_delete"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_delete"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="Delete"
android:titleCondensed="Delete">
</item>
<item
android:id="#+id/item_share"
android:icon="#android:drawable/ic_menu_share"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="Delete"
android:titleCondensed="Delete">
</item>
</menu>
Now Enable your Contextual ActionBar(CAB) As follows as for example here am are enabling on long click of a textview
yourtextView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
mActionMode = MainActivity.this.startActionMode(new ActionBarCallback());
return true;
}
});
then you have to write your own action on click on each action event on CAB

I have seen this question asked many times, however, none of those solutions have helped me. My problem is that I have an ActionBar menu and I want its items to always be displayed on the ActionBar instead of the drop down menu.
I have tried actions suchs as "ifRoom", "always", etc. and they still show only with text on the drop down menu.
Menu: devotional_fragment_actions.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_previous"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_previous_item"
android:title="#string/previous_action"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_go_to_today"
android:title="#string/date_action"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item android:id="#+id/action_next"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_next_item"
android:title="#string/next_action"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
On my fragment I have:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
// action bar
inflater.inflate(R.menu.devotional_fragment_actions, menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// handle item selection of action bar
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_search:
showDatePickerDialog();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
The menu works fine but is not displaying as I want it. Thanks
In each item use android namespace instead of app. You can even remove this namespace declaration xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto".
Try set it like in code below:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_previous"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_previous_item"
android:title="#string/previous_action"
android:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
I'm having a problem with the alignment of the SearchView when it's expanded. For some reason, when collapsed it aligns rights, but when expanded it aligns left. I did everything folowing the ActionBarSherlock examples.
Here are two screenshots of the problem:
Screenshot collapsed http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8976/.png
Screenshot expanded http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/9890/.png
I have yet to decide if I want to use ActionBar tabs. I don't want the searchView to hide them when expanded. But that's for another question. My main issue here is the alignment of the SearchView when exapanded. I want it to keep the right alignment no matter what.
Here's my onCreateOptionsMenu:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
searchMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
refreshMenuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_refresh);
refreshMenuItem.setActionView(R.layout.refresh_progressbar);
searchMenuItem.setOnActionExpandListener(new OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
flightsListAdapter.getFilter().filter("");
return true;
}
});
searchView = (SearchView)searchMenuItem.getActionView();
searchView.setQueryHint(getResources().getString(R.string.search_hint));
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
searchView.clearFocus();
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String query) {
flightsListAdapter.getFilter().filter(query);
return true;
}
});
searchView.clearFocus();
return true;
}
And here is my menu_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search"
android:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
android:actionViewClass="com.actionbarsherlock.widget.SearchView" />
<item
android:title="#string/date"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_compose"
android:showAsAction="always" >
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/menuYesterday"
android:title="Yesterday"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menuToday"
android:title="Today"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menuTomorrow"
android:title="Tomorrow"/>
</menu>
</item>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="#string/action_refresh" />
</menu>
Thank you for reading :)
Ok. Just for the sake of common knowledge, I'm answering my own question.
The trick was to remove "collapseActionView" on the SerchView. Once I removed that, the SearchView stays in place (to the right) when exanded.
