I am using simple menu items in action bar by using following code in main activity:
package com.kaasib.ftpclient;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.app.ActionBar;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
boolean ret;
if(item.getItemId() == R.id.connection_manager){
ret = true;
}else{
ret = super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
return ret;
}
}
Here is menu xml in main.xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/connection_manager"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="collapseActionView"
android:title="#string/connection_manager"
android:textSize="2sp"
/>
</menu>
It is working except it is not making any change to text size. Right now text size for menu item is bigger while I want font size to be smaller. So what am I doing wrong? Shouldn't android:textSize attributute work? Or is there some other way to do so? I believe that text size should be set from XML not from java as it is design related thing. Any suggestion?
Ok, so this is my solution, you can actually use the SpannableString for fetching the text and then changing the font via RelativeSizeSpan (if you want text size relative to the default one) or via AbsoluteSizeSpan (if you want to manually input the text size):
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
MenuInflater awesome = getMenuInflater();
awesome.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
for(int i = 0; i < menu.size(); i++) {
MenuItem item = menu.getItem(i);
SpannableString spanString = new SpannableString(menu.getItem(i).getTitle().toString());
int end = spanString.length();
spanString.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), 0, end, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
item.setTitle(spanString);
}
return true;
}
This example increases the size of menu item texts by 50%.
add into style xml file like this bottom code line your custom font size,,
after this
<style name="menu_text_style" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/tab_default_color</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
after have to "menu_text_style" add to your NavigationView
app:itemTextAppearance="#style/menu_text_style"
Add the "android:actionMenuTextAppearance" item for your activities in your styles.xml :
<style name="AppThemeActivity" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">#style/yourstyle</item>
...
</style>
Apply this style to your activity in your Manifest :
<activity
android:theme="#style/AppThemeActivity"
.../>
So it's been a long time since this was asked but I like this solution as steven smiths answer changes every view:
Add this line to NavigationView:
app:itemTextAppearance="#style/MenuItems"
And this to the styles :
<style name="MenuItems" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
</style>
Works well, on old API also:
In your style.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionMenuTextAppearance">#style/ActionMenuTextAppearance</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextAppearance">#style/ActionMenuTextAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionMenuTextAppearance" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Menu">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#1a1a1a</item>
</style>
In your manifest:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
/>
Or you can set the font size in the values/styles item for the theme you are using. In my case the style indicated in the AndroidManifest.xml file is:
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
And so my style for the AppTheme is now:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
Seems strange it doesn't work for the item though...
<style name="RobotoTextViewStyleEn" parent="android:Widget.TextView">
<item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#868784</item>
</style>
navigationView.setItemTextAppearance(R.style.RobotoTextViewStyle);

this is my style.xml
Now when i click the option menu. the text color appears to be black. i need to change it to white
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/redDark</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/redLite</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/redDark</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/redDark</item>
</style>
Try this code
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/your_color</item>
Check if this works
<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">#style/myMenuTextApearance</item>
and add this text style in the styles
<style name="myMenuTextApearance" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/primary_text_dark</item>
</style>
You can change menu items text color programmatically.
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main_activity, menu);
for(int i = 0; i < menu.size(); i++) {
MenuItem item = menu.getItem(i);
SpannableString spanString = new SpannableString(menu.getItem(i).getTitle().toString());
spanString.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.GREEN), 0, spanString.length(), 0); //fix the color to white
item.setTitle(spanString);
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Hope it helps:)
I want to change a single menuItem background in android but it's not working. What I did, set a appcompat supported actionview in MenuItem and trying to set background of actionview.
xml
<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">
<item android:id="#+id/action_my_balance"
android:title="#string/my_balance"
app:showAsAction="never"
app:actionViewClass="android.widget.ImageButton"
/>
</menu>
source code
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
ImageButton balanceMenu = (ImageButton) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menu.findItem(R.id.action_my_balance));
balanceMenu.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
balanceMenu.invalidate();
return true;
}
But it's not working at all. Also is it possible to getView on MenuItem without set custom actionview?
try this Style from AndroidManifest.xml
<style name="ActionBarTheme" parent="ChooseYourParentStyle">
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyStyle.PopupMenu_Style</item>
</style>
<style name="MyStyle.PopupMenu_Style" parent="ChooseYourParentStyle.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#drawable/CreateCustomDrawable</item>
</style>
I want to make an action bar with a button on the right with a margin_right. like this
And I use the action button to do it. But the button was on the right without margin_right.
android:layout_marginRight doesn't work here.
here is my styles.xml:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarSize">50dp</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/my_actionbar_style</item>
<item name="android:actionButtonStyle">#style/my_action_button</item>
</style>
<style name="my_actionbar_style" parent="android:Widget.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/actionbar_backgroud</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/myTitleStyle</item>
<item name="android:displayOptions">showTitle</item>
</style>
<style name="myTitleStyle">
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
<style name="my_action_button">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/button_selector</item>
<item name="android:width">70dp</item>
<item name="android:textSize">13sp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginTop">10dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">10dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginRight">10dp</item>
</style>
and this is my menu.xml:
<menu xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
tools:ignore="AppCompatResource">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="submit"
android:showAsAction="always" /></menu>
Another quick and clean way to go about this is specifying your own layout for that menu button. something like this
<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="com.example.MainActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_custom_button"
android:title="Custom Button"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_custom_button"
app:actionLayout="#layout/layout_to_custom_button"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
there should be
layout_to_custom_button.xml
layout file which contains the padding and style you wanted.
and also do this in your activity for the click event
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_product_detail, menu);
final Menu mMenu = menu;
final MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.action_custom_button);
item.getActionView().setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mMenu.performIdentifierAction(item.getItemId(), 0);
}
});
return true;
}
I found the easiest way to do this was to just create your own action bar in a layout file. You can then use it by having your activities inherit from a common activity that overrides setContentView, where you just stick the view you're given into a parent view containing that and your action bar. You can mimick the overflowing menu behavior by using ActionMenuView (5.0+).
For example, assume you have an action_bar.xml with an ActionMenuView in it named menuView:
class BaseActivity extends Activity {
...
ActionMenuView mMenuView;
...
#Override
protected void setContentView(int resId) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View actionBar = inflater.inflate(R.layout.action_bar, null);
View contentView = inflater.inflate(resId);
mMenuView = (ActionMenuView)actionBar.findViewById(R.id.menuView);
RelativeLayout parentLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
LayoutParams actionBarLayout = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
actionBar.setLayoutParams(actionBarLayout);
parentLayout.addView(actionBar);
actionBar.setId(R.id.actionBar);
LayoutParams contentLayout = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0);
contentLayout.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, actionBar.getId());
contentLayout.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_WITH_PARENT_BOTTOM);
contentView.setLayoutParams(contentLayout);
parentLayout.addView(contentView);
setContentView(parentLayout);
}
}
How can I change the size of a menu item in the android toolbar? Currently the menus have a very small size and I want to increase the size. If anyone knows please help me to find a solution.

You may design a custom layout and add it as your actionlayout. ALso make sure you do not add any icon in menu.xml file.
<item android:id="#+id/homes"
android:title="homes"
app:actionLayout="#layout/your_custom_layout"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
Then give min_height in your custom layout.
I ran into this problem too and the only workaround I was able to have was to use smaller images. A size of 24dp from the icons here (https://design.google.com/icons) fits nicely into my toolbar.
I suggest you to read this blog for custom toolbar.
https://stablekernel.com/using-custom-views-as-menu-items/
instead of adding drawable_icon to your menu-xml file, you can use "app:actionLayout" in that menu-xml file to specify the other xml-file(where you are going to create custom toolbar icon).
Just increase the size of the vector image(in the right) from the default 24x24 to a different size but after a certain size it won't scale up. The size might seem odd if it is put beside a view inflated(with orange background in the left) in the custom toolbar as shown in the image, only way to fix this is to inflate another view in the toolbar with the vector as the background.
Can anyone see why my help icon isn't showing in the action bar? I have pasted the relevant parts of my code below
Thank you
menu topline.xml:
`
<item

android:title="Home"

<item

This is in my activity java:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.topline, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.gohome_id:
gohome();
break;
}
return true;
}
finally, my Manifest:
<activity
android:name=".test1"
android:label="Test"
android:theme="#style/CustomActionBarTheme" >
</activity>
try this
<item
android:id="#+id/gohome_id"
android:title="Home"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/helpme_id"
android:title="help"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_questionmark"
android:showAsAction="always"
/>
Did you put your item in a menu tag?
<menu ....>
<item.../>
<item.../>
</menu>
If yes, change trial10:showAsAction with app:showAsAction. Just alt enter if there's an error on app.
Also delete that order line from home item
