I have tried everything that i could have. gone through 6-7 articles except http://developer.android.com/ and things totally messed up i don't know what i am missing or taking the reference of wrong articles.
Here is my code:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/userIcon"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_user"
android:title="#string/app_name"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/listIcon"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_list"
android:title="#string/app_name"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_red"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/get_back"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_green"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/get_login"/>
</menu>
Activity.java
#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_product_list, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.listIcon:
Toast.makeText(this,
"Menu list",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case R.id.userIcon:
Toast.makeText(this,
"User Icon",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
//return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
return true;
}
Thanks a lot
Order in category determines the order appearance, from low to high check this link -> Set Item postition in ActionBar try the following code, but i'm not sure about in which order you want the menus to appear
<item
android:id="#+id/userIcon"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:menuCategory="system"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_user"
android:title="#string/app_name"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/listIcon"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:menuCategory="system"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_list"
android:title="#string/app_name"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_red"
android:orderInCategory="99"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/get_back"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_green"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/get_login"/>

I am very new to Java Programming and Android Studio.
While creating an Options Menu, I created a list of options in the main menu with two items in a group sub menu.
This is my 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/giveup_setting"
android:orderInCategory="1"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="#string/action_option1"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/new_game_setting"
android:orderInCategory="2"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_option2"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/help_setting"
android:orderInCategory="3"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_option3"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/settings_setting"
android:orderInCategory="4"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_option4" />
<menu>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_color"
android:orderInCategory="1"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/layout_color"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_text"
android:orderInCategory="2"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/layout_text"/>
</group>
</menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/about_setting"
android:orderInCategory="5"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_option5"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/exit_setting"
android:orderInCategory="6"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_option6"/>
</menu>
An this is how I inflate the menu in my MainActivity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
menu.clear();
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem menu) {
// Handle item selection
switch (menu.getItemId()) {
case R.id.help_setting:
//show help screens
return true;
case R.id.menu_color:
//change a layout of my main activity
return true;
case R.id.menu_text:
//change another layout of my main activity
return true;*/
case R.id.about_setting:
//show my about screen
return true;
case R.id.giveup_setting:
//resets the game
case R.id.new_game_setting:
//restarts the app
return true;
case R.id.exit_setting:
//exits the app
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(menu);
}
}
On running the app, the menu populates but the "Settings" item (which has the nested group radio buttons) displays twice.

What am I doing wrong?
if android:id="#+id/settings_setting" is the one you want to have a submenu don't close the item tag. Instead inflate <menu> inside the <item> tag.
<item
android:id="#+id/settings_setting"
android:orderInCategory="4"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_option4">
<menu>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_color"
android:orderInCategory="1"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/layout_color"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_text"
android:orderInCategory="2"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/layout_text"/>
</group>
</menu>
</item>

I am new in android developing anyone can help me how to show icon in option menu. Thanks in advance!
By default the overflow menu will disable the icon and only show text, you need some workaround.
1st way
You can enable it by adding the following codes into your class
#Override
public boolean onMenuOpened(int featureId, Menu menu)
{
if(featureId == Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR && menu != null){
if(menu.getClass().getSimpleName().equals("MenuBuilder")){
try{
Method m = menu.getClass().getDeclaredMethod(
"setOptionalIconsVisible", Boolean.TYPE);
m.setAccessible(true);
m.invoke(menu, true);
}
catch(NoSuchMethodException e){
Log.e(TAG, "onMenuOpened", e);
}
catch(Exception e){
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
return super.onMenuOpened(featureId, menu);
}
2nd way
Create your own overflow item and a nested menu to show both the icon and the text.
Example,
<item
android:id="#+id/overflow"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_overflow_white"
android:orderInCategory="201"
android:title="#string/overflow"
app:showAsAction="always">
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/cab_menu_select_all"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_select_all_grey"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/cab_menu_select_all"
app:showAsAction="always|withText"></item>
</menu>
</item>
try this code its works for you
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="#string/action_search"/>
<!-- Settings, should always be in the overflow -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_location_found"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_location_found"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="#string/action_location_found"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_overflow"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_menu"
android:orderInCategory="11111"
android:showAsAction="always">
<menu>
<!-- Refresh -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_refresh"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="#string/action_refresh"/>
<!-- Help -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_help"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_help"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_help"/>
<!-- Check updates -->
<item
android:id="#+id/action_check_updates"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_refresh"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_check_updates"/>
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
- See more at: http://www.theappguruz.com/blog/android-working-android-actionbar#sthash.ArNQTEBF.dpuf
Create your menu xml as follow
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_item_action_parameters"
android:title="#string/text_parameters"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_parameter"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"/> >
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_dropdown1"
android:title="#string/dropdown_1" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_dropdown2"
android:title="#string/dropdown2" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_dropdown3"
android:title="#string/dropdown3" />
</menu>
</item>
<item
more item
</item>
Then
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id) {
case R.id.action_dropdown1:
.....
return true;
case R.id.action_dropdown2:
.....
return true;
.....
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
this is completely working code.Mark this answer up if it helps. :) Happy coding.
you Need to add tools:context="your class" to menu tag
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".activities.BaseActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_notification1"
android:icon="#drawable/one"
android:title="action_notification"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_notification2"
android:icon="#drawable/two"
android:title="action_notification"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_notification3"
android:icon="#drawable/three"
android:title="action_notification"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
you shold write tool:context to menu tag then run you will get icons to your text
I am adding icons to ActionBar, but instead of getting them on ActionBar, I get them in the menu option..
My Java Code-
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.dashboard, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.report) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Report",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
My dashboard.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/share"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="Share on Whatsapp"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/medication"
android:title="My Medications"
android:icon="#drawable/medication"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/coc"
android:title="Add Circle of care"
android:icon="#drawable/add_icon"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/report"
android:title="Report"
android:icon="#drawable/report"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
Please tell what am I missing..
I have appcompat as library.
Thank you
Extended ActionBar or AppCompactActivity
First menu item has app:showAsAction="never", so others menu items will always be shown only in overflow menu.
I want to display my menu items on ActionBar with android
I found some samples but It was not what I wanted
Menu should be similar picture below(Overflow Icon or text)
My menu.xml is :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:visible="true"
android:title="Refresh"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Settings">
<item
android:id="#+id/mapMenu"
android:title="map menu" />
<item
android:id="#+id/favMenu"
android:title="favorite" />
<item
android:id="#+id/listMenu"
android:title="List Menu" />
</item>
and my android code :
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), item.getTitle() + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.mapMenu:
// do something
break;
case R.id.favMenu:
// do something
break;
case R.id.listMenu:
// do something
break;
}
return true;
}
Once write following in all item tags
android:showAsAction="never"
then all items will display in overflow.
Ex:
<item
android:id="#+id/mapMenu"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="map menu" />
Hope this will helps you.
If you want to show the three dots, irrespective of device menu button, then you can call below code (which is based on reflection) in your application class' onCreate method-
try {
ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(this);
Field menuKeyField = ViewConfiguration.class.getDeclaredField("sHasPermanentMenuKey");
if(menuKeyField != null) {
menuKeyField.setAccessible(true);
menuKeyField.setBoolean(config, false);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Caution: This is an awful hack that breaks consistency with the rest
of the apps on the platform
Thanks all
but I added android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" and result is :
I also tested android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" and menu items hid
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/main_menu"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:visible="true">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="Refresh"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Settings"
android:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/mapMenu"
android:title="map menu"
android:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/favMenu"
android:title="favorite"
android:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/listMenu"
android:title="List Menu"
android:showAsAction="never" />
</item>
</menu>
android:showAsAction: When and how this item should appear as an action item in the Action Bar. A menu item can appear as an action item only when the activity includes an ActionBar (introduced in API Level 11).
Try the given code. First you create root item keep its android:showAsAction:Always then inside that root item create other items with android:showAsAction:never.
I am trying to add submenus , I created xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:id="#+id/action_overflow"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_overflow"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="#string/action_overflow">
<menu>
<item android:id="#+id/item1" android:title="test"></item>
<item android:id="#+id/item2" android:title="test2"></item>
<item android:id="#+id/item3" android:title="test3"></item>
</menu></item></menu>
in mainactivity.java:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// int menuid = item.getItemId();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "id: "+item.getItemId(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
it shows me numbers like 2131034200...... etc..
