I want to give Option menu in my application and also that menu are clickable. If I click any menu than it will open another activity. So, please help me for this. In my application there is many class or activity i want to put this optionmenu in every activity of my application. here i try with this kind of code.
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
MenuItem dashboard = menu.add(0, 1, 1, "Dashboard");
MenuItem roles = menu.add(0, 2, 2, "Roles");
MenuItem profiles = menu.add(0, 3, 3, "Profiles");
MenuItem move = menu.add(0, 4, 4, "Move Product");
MenuItem assignedproduct = menu.add(0, 5, 5, "Assigned Product Report");
MenuItem salesreport = menu.add(0, 6, 6, "Sales Report");
MenuItem salesreturn = menu.add(0, 7, 7, "Sales Return");
MenuItem purchasereport = menu.add(0, 8,8, "Purchase Report");
MenuItem logout = menu.add(0, 9, 9, "Logout");
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
return true;
You need to override onCreateOptionsMenu function in each activity of your app. that's the only way
To give the click functionality to menu items, you will have to override the onOptionsItemSelected() method. Then give those MenuItems their respective action based on their item id as follows...
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case 1:
// give action to the menu item which id is 1
return true;
case 2:
// give action to the menu item which id is 2
return true;
case 3:
// give action to the menu item which id is 3
return true;
case 4:
// give action to the menu item which id is 4
return true;
..........
..........
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
If all of your activities should have same menu, best way is move creating menu in superclass. . Name it MenuActivity, for example. In this class override onCreateOptionsMenu for creating menu and onOptionsItemSelected for handling user taps. Then just inherit all your activities from MenuActivity.

I'm trying to create a android menu which should be build dynamically inside a Google Glass app. Therefore I have to arrays which contain the diffent kinds of objects which should be displayed in the menu.
The menu should look like the following:
Menu1
Option1
Option2
Option3
Menu2
Option1
Option2
Menu3
Menu4
I've already build up the menu structure with this code:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.clear();
SubMenu damageCodes = menu.addSubMenu(R.string.chooseDamageCode).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_document_50);
int i = 0;
for(Damagecode d : this.mDamagecodes){
damageCodes.add(0, Menu.NONE, i, d.getCotext());
i++;
}
SubMenu priorities = menu.addSubMenu(R.string.choosePriority).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_document_50);
i = 0;
for(Priority p : this.mPriorities){
priorities.add(1, Menu.NONE, i, p.getPriokx());
i++;
}
menu.add(3, Menu.NONE, Menu.NONE, R.string.setConfirmationText).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_pen_50);
menu.add(4, Menu.NONE, Menu.NONE, R.string.backToTplnr_equipment).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_reply_50);
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.create_notification, menu);
return true;
}
I know that the method
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
}
is called when a menuitem is selected but the question right now is how to get the selected item?
Just put a switch inside the onMenuItemSelected:
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getTitle()) {
case R.string.chooseDamageCode:
// do stuff here for damagecode item
break;
case R.string.choosePriority:
// do stuff here for choosepriority item
break;
...same for other items
}
}
Hope this helps
I found a solution.
Due to the fact that I don't know which elements / values can be in my array I created a simple flag. This means... I'm creating the main menu where every item has a fixed unique ID. The submenu elements do not have a unique id, they only have the title. So what I'm doing right now is to check first whether one of the main menu items was pressed (unique ID) or whether the title of the clicked element is either in one of the arrays or not.
Works quite fine :)
Hope this helps anybody else too!
Greetings
I have the following structure:
My problem is that whenever I go from Activities 1, 2 or 3 to SubActivities and back to the Activities, Options Menu stops appearing (Neither onCreateOptionsMenu nor onPrepareOptionsMenu). My guess is that this is because Activities are stopped when SubActivities are called, then Activites are not recreated (onCreate is not called) when I return to them.
Is there a way to force onCreateOptionsMenu to be called when Activity is resumed (in onResume)?
Update
I understand what's going on now. Problem is that Options Menu is called from TabActivity, not from the Activities under it. I need the onCreateOptionsMenu/onPrepareOptionsMenu of the Activities to run instead of TabActivity's.
i just call onCreateOptionsMenu in every activity i need it in seperatly then change the context for each activitys onCreateOptionsMenu seperatly to reflect the senario so when the activity is resumed so is its onCreateOptionsMenu.....hope that helps
Solved my problem. Problem is that Options Menu is called from TabActivity, not from the Activities under it. What I did was:
In my TabActivity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_view, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_view, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
return getCurrentActivity().onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}
And in the Activities:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Do my work in the Activity
}
I just use it in each activity I want to have menu options say if Im in activity 1 my menu options reflect activity 2,3 when I'm in activity 2 my menu options reflect 1,3 and so on but in each activity that has a menu you must put the code in doing that when you change between activities you will always have a menu.....it works for me I don't know if its the best way but it works for me
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add (Menu.NONE, 0, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 1, Menu.NONE, (""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 2, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 3, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 4, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 5, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 6, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 7, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 8, Menu.NONE,(""));
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 9, Menu.NONE,(""));
return true;
} // end onCreateOptionsMenu()
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case 0:
return true;
case 1:
return true;
case 2:
return true;
case 3:
return true;
case 4:
return true;
case 5:
return true;
case 6:
return true;
case 7:
return true;
case 8:
return true;
case 9:
return true;
}
return false;
}
is what i use...if this helps maybe check out my question "append.text at cursor in fragment"....im super desperate for help
I have an activity that refuses to close the first time finish() is called. I had originally put a Cancel button in the activity, but then I noticed that it exhibits the same behavior when I use the Back button too. It can be described like this:
1. The activity opens, and the appropriate data is filled in (which came from a List View from the previous activity).
2. Press the Back button, and all the fields are cleared of data, but it doesn't return the user to the original activity.
3. Press the Back button again, and the user is returned to the original activity.
I can post code, but I'm not sure if the issue is in the current activity or the main one. I can mention that switched to using a context menu to open the Activity.
UPDATE:
Ok, looks like both of these suggestions were correct, the main activity is indeed launching 2 versions of the Edit activity. Now I'm just trying to figure out why. I noticed this happening when I switched over to a context menu for the list item options. The Add button is a Menu Item, however. Here is the relevant code:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
// add(int groupId, int itemId, int order, int titleRes)
menu.add(0, INSERT_ID, 0, R.string.menu_insert);
menu.add(0, SETTINGS_ID, 1, R.string.sharedPrefButton);
menu.add(0, COMMON_DESC_ID, 2, R.string.commonDescButton);
menu.add(0, RESET_ID, 3, R.string.menu_reset);
return true;
}
/*
* This is going to handle the "Add Expenditure" menu item. When this is selected, the
* onOptionsItemSelected() method will be called with the item.getId() set to INSERT_ID
* (the constant we used to identify the menu item).
*/
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case INSERT_ID:
createExpenditure();
break;
case SETTINGS_ID:
manageSharedPrefs();
break;
case COMMON_DESC_ID:
manageCommonDesc();
break;
}
return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
menu.add(0, DELETE_ID, 0, R.string.menu_delete);
menu.add(0, EDIT_ID, 0, R.string.menu_edit);
}
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
int itemId = item.getItemId();
switch(itemId) {
case DELETE_ID:
mDbHelper.deleteExpenditure(info.id);
fillData();
break;
case EDIT_ID:
Intent i = new Intent(this, ExpenditureEdit.class);
i.putExtra(ExpendituresDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, info.id);
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_EDIT);
break;
}
return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}
It appears that you starting the same Activity twice. This is your Activity stack:
Original Activity, starts ListActivity
ListActivity (no data in fields), starts another instance of itself
ListActivity (fill in appropriate data)
Now when you push the back button:
ListActivity, close this second instance but...
ListActivity (still no data), the first instance resumes, so push back again
Original Activity
(Without code I cannot help you move than to describe what I think is happening...)
This is happening because apparently onMenuItemSelected is called whenever onContextItemSelected is executed. Although I'm still unsure as to why, if I use a conditional inside my onMenuItemSelected method, everything seems to work fine:
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
if (featureId == Window.FEATURE_CONTEXT_MENU)
{
Log.i("EZBudget","Context Menu");
}
else if (featureId == Window.FEATURE_OPTIONS_PANEL)
{
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case INSERT_ID:
createExpenditure();
break;
case SETTINGS_ID:
manageSharedPrefs();
break;
case COMMON_DESC_ID:
manageCommonDesc();
break;
}
}
return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}
I found this answer in another post: onContextItemSelected doesn't get called
I have been working with ActionBarSherlock recently, and follwing various tutorials, I wrote this code to add items to Action bar
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add("Refresh")
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_refresh)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
menu.add("Search")// Search
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_search)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
return true;
}
However, I dont know how to distinguish the two clicks.
Although I did find out that you have to Override onOptionsItemSelected to handle the clicks and also that a switch statement can be used to distinguish between clicks, but most tutorials use item ids from thier xml menus. Since I am not creating menus in xml how can i distinguish the clicks without ids.
private static final int REFRESH = 1;
private static final int SEARCH = 2;
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(0, REFRESH, 0, "Refresh")
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_refresh)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
menu.add(0, SEARCH, 0, "Search")
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_search)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case REFRESH:
// Do refresh
return true;
case SEARCH:
// Do search
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Just check following
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html
which contains
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) { <--- here you can get it
case android.R.id.home:
// app icon in action bar clicked; go home
Intent intent = new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
you can do ti by there Id in onOptionsItemSelected ................which can be set here also
http://thedevelopersinfo.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/handling-options-menu-item-selections-in-android/
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Menu.html#add(int, int, int, java.lang.CharSequence)
use
public abstract MenuItem add (int groupId, int itemId, int order, CharSequence title)
Since: API Level 1
Add a new item to the menu. This item displays the given title for its label.
Parameters
groupId The group identifier that this item should be part of. This can be used to define groups of items for batch state changes. Normally use NONE if an item should not be in a group.
itemId Unique item ID. Use NONE if you do not need a unique ID.
order The order for the item. Use NONE if you do not care about the order. See getOrder().
title The text to display for the item.
Returns
The newly added menu item.
I have a Gallery view, In this view I set up an options menu
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add(0, EMAIL_MENU_ID, 0, "Email");
menu.add(0, SHARE_MENU_ID, 0, "Share");
menu.add(0, RATE_MENU_ID, 0, "Rate");
menu.add(0, BUY_MENU_ID, 0, "Buy");
return true;
}
I have the following method to get the option item selected.
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case EMAIL_MENU_ID:
sendMail(index);
case SHARE_MENU_ID:
postToWeb(index);
case RATE_MENU_ID:
postRating(index);
case BUY_MENU_ID:
buy(index);
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
How could i find the item of the Gallery view that's currently in focus?
Very good tutorial. In my scenario the user has pressed the Menu button and I would like to present the user with some options to take on the image that is currently in focus. At this point the user has not clicked on the image so I don't have the position that you would normally get when a user selects an item. I've thought about using a context menu instead but was hoping to use an options menu.
