So I have an action bar I am trying to learn and when I implement it I see this white spinning circle left of my first menu item. Why is this being shown here?

How can I get rid of this spinning circle before I publish the app? It is an ugly and annoying distraction to the app itself.
Thanks Y'all!
Try commenting out the line requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS); in your onCreate() callback.

Solution as below-
In build.gradle(Module:app) add appcompat dependency
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
// ... other dependencies
}
change
public class MainActivity extends Activity
to
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity.
change your menu.xml file as below
<?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/phone"
android:title="#string/phone"
android:icon="#drawable/phone"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/computer"
android:title="#string/computer"
android:icon="#drawable/computer" />
</menu>
Yesterday I had a problem with replacing fragments, so I had to change my MainActivity to extend Acivity instead of ActionBarActivity in order to avoid compatibility issues. The problem is, that after I've done that, an actionbar item disappeared. I tried following androids official tutorials on how to set it up without using the support library, but with no avail. This is what I have:
Inside the MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.frag_container, new MainMenuFragment()).commit();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
return true;};
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
As you can see, I'm implementing the needed methods for the action bar to be populated with buttons. This is my menu's XML file:
<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.pszczyna.MainActivity" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
</menu>
The manifest is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jam.pszczyna"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="11"
android:targetSdkVersion="20" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.jam.pszczyna.MainActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
which is the minimum SDK version required for this to work. For me everything looks like it's supposed to, whats wrong with it?
try this:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.example.pszczyna.MainActivity" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
and in your manifest remove android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat" and put your own style.
i know this has been asked many times. i've gone through most of the questions here regarding the above problem. but they didn't really help. i can't find the problem in my code. so here is my code
package com.example.actionbaractivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
}
now manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.actionbaractivity"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="18"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
and now the menu 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:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="always|withText"/>
</menu>
and finally the string xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">ActionbarActivity</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="action_search"></string>
</resources>
Do in this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="collapseActionView|always"
android:actionViewClass="android.widget.SearchView" />
</menu>
then in your Activity class:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
if(null!=searchManager )
{
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
}
searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
return true;
}

I've been trying to implement a contextual action bar along with a dialog fragment.
Similar to the downloads widget in android.
I've tried to set android:windowActionModeOverlay to be true in the theme.
But it doesnt seem to work. Is there any way I can achieve it??
The downloads window that you have in your screenshot is actually an Activity using the #android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog theme which makes it look like a dialog. To achieve the same look as the downloads window, your Activity need only use the same theme.
You can set this theme in your manifest like so:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Example implementation excluding string and drawable resources.
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mceley.dialog.example"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
MainActivity.java:
package com.mceley.dialog.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ActionMode;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);
findViewById(R.id.context_button).setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ExampleMode mode = new ExampleMode();
startActionMode(mode);
}
public class ExampleMode implements ActionMode.Callback {
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
mode.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
}
}
main_layout.xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center" >
<Button android:id="#+id/context_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/show_context_bar" />
</LinearLayout>
main_menu.xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="#string/action_settings"/>
</menu>
Result:
I don't think you can add ActionBar in DialogFragment.
But We can Try that using Activity As Dialog.
I have tried this with ActionBarSherlock and I have added R.style.Sherlock___Theme_Dialog as my Activity's theme but it looks like this:
After doing Above thing i understud, we can't Add ActionBar in Dialog or DialogFragment.
I am using this "Tab layout and Listview" from http://www.androidhive.info/2012/05/android-combining-tab-layout-and-list-view/ and "Android Menus" from http://www.androidhive.info/2011/09/how-to-create-android-menus/.
I merge them together, yet it doesn't work. The tab works, but not for the menu.
Here are my codes.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;

#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
// Initiating Menu XML file (menu.xml)
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
menuInflater.inflate(R.layout.menu, menu);
return true;
}
/**
* Event Handling for Individual menu item selected
* Identify single menu item by it's id
* */
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
Intent myList = new Intent();
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.menu_login:
// Single menu item is selected do something
// Ex: launching new activity/screen or show alert message
// Toast.makeText(optionMenuActivity.this, "Bookmark is Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
myList = new Intent(optionMenuActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
startActivity(myList);
return true;
case R.id.menu_save:
Toast.makeText(optionMenuActivity.this, "Save is Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
case R.id.menu_search:
Toast.makeText(optionMenuActivity.this, "Search is Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
case R.id.menu_share:
Toast.makeText(optionMenuActivity.this, "Share is Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
case R.id.menu_delete:
Toast.makeText(optionMenuActivity.this, "Delete is Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
case R.id.menu_quit:
// Toast.makeText(optionMenuActivity.this, "Preferences is Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
// return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
}
The main from "Tab layout"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout

android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
And this is my menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

android:icon="#drawable/icon_save"
android:title="Save" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_search"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_search"
android:title="Search" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_share"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_share"

android:icon="#drawable/icon_delete"
android:title="Delete" />
<item android:id="#+id/menu_quit"

Thanks in advance for anyone's help (':
Here:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
menuInflater.inflate(R.layout.menu, menu);
return true;
}
you pass R.layout.menu to MenuInflater.inflate(..) method, but it should be R.menu.menu. Move your menu.xml file from res/layout dir to res/menu dir.
I ran into similar problem with TabHost. By default, Android creates an options menu for the parent activity, i.e. TabHost in your case. The child tab does not receive the OnCreateOptionsMenu event. Therefore, your menu is not being created.
Put the option menu creation/handling code in the activity extending TabActivity. You can change the preference menu content by checking which tab is currently selected by checking getTabHost.getCurrentTab or getTabHost.getCurrentTabTag and inflating appropriate menu.
