}
}
And my XML file is more_tab_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/feeds"
android:title="Feeds"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/friends"
android:title="Friends"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/about"
android:title="About"/>
</menu>
Please guide me,
public class MenuTest extends Activity {
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.more_tab_menu, menu);
// return true so that the menu pop up is opened
return true;
}
}
and don't forget to press the menu button or icon on Emulator or device
please see :==
private int group1Id = 1;
int homeId = Menu.FIRST;
int profileId = Menu.FIRST +1;
int searchId = Menu.FIRST +2;
int dealsId = Menu.FIRST +3;
int helpId = Menu.FIRST +4;
int contactusId = Menu.FIRST +5;
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(group1Id, homeId, homeId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.home_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, profileId, profileId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.profile_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, searchId, searchId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.search_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, dealsId, dealsId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.deals_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, helpId, helpId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.help_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, contactusId, contactusId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.contactus_menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case 1:
// write your code here
Toast msg = Toast.makeText(MainHomeScreen.this, "Menu 1", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
msg.show();
return true;
case 2:
// write your code here
return true;
case 3:
// write your code here
return true;
case 4:
// write your code here
return true;
case 5:
// write your code here
return true;
case 6:
// write your code here
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Change your onCreateOptionsMenu method to return true. To quote the docs:
You must return true for the menu to be displayed; if you return false it will not be shown.
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
new MenuInflater(this).inflate(R.menu.folderview_options, menu);
return (super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.locationListRefreshLocations) {
Cursor temp = helper.getEmployee(active_employeeId);
String[] matches = new String[1];
if (temp.moveToFirst()) {
matches[0] = helper.getEmployerID(temp);
}
temp.close();
startRosterReceiveBackgroundTask(matches);
} else if (item.getItemId()==R.id.locationListPrefs) {
startActivity(new Intent(this, PreferencesUnlockScreen.class));
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
you can create options menu like below:
Menu XML code:
<?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_AboutUs"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_about_us_over_black"
android:title="About US"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/Menu_LogOutMenu"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_arrow_forward_black"
android:title="Logout"/>
</menu>
How you can get the menu from MENU XML(Convert menu XML to java):
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my_options_menu,menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
How to get Selected Item from Menu:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.Menu_AboutUs:
//About US
break;
case R.id.Menu_LogOutMenu:
//Do Logout
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.*;
import android.widget.*;
public class AndroidWalkthroughApp2 extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// show menu when menu button is pressed
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.options_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// display a message when a button was pressed
String message = "";
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.option1) {
message = "You selected option 1!";
}
else if (item.getItemId() == R.id.option2) {
message = "You selected option 2!";
}
else {
message = "Why would you select that!?";
}
// show message via toast
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
return true;
}
}
Replace return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); with return true; in your onCreateOptionsMenu method
This will help
And you should also have the onCreate method in your activity
The previous answers have covered the traditional menu used in android. Their is another option you can use if you are looking for an alternative
https://github.com/AnshulBansal/Android-Pulley-Menu
Pulley menu is an alternate to the traditional Menu which allows user to select any option for an activity intuitively. The menu is revealed by dragging the screen downwards and in that gesture user can also select any of the options.
Android UI programming is a little bit tricky. To enable the Options menu, in addition to the code you wrote, we also need to call setHasOptionsMenu(true) in your overriden method OnCreate().
Hope this will help you out.
IF your Device is running Android v.4.1.2 or before,
the menu is not displayed in the action-bar.
But it can be accessed through the Menu-(hardware)-Button.
Good Day
I was checked
And if You choose Empty Activity
You Don't have build in Menu functions
For Build in You must choose Basic Activity
In this way You Activity will run onCreateOptionsMenu
Or if You work in Empty Activity from start
Chenge in styles.xml the

I used a library recently that Provides a Floating Action Button and changing to a Something like Navigation bar by clicking on it.
but i cant set click Event for my navigation bar Items.
after Pressing on items i don't see any reaction!
Anyone can help me?
fabOptions = (FabOptions) findViewById(R.id.fabcontainer);
fabOptions.setButtonsMenu(R.menu.menu1);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu1, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.back:
newBack();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
private void newBack() {
Toast.makeText(this, "back", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
First of all you should have to use break whenever you use switch statement otherwise the program will go to default status. so use break; the code below.
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getId(); // Retrieve the id of the selected menu item
switch(id) {
case R.id.back:
newBack();
return true;
break;
case ...
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I want to open a menu from a OnClickListener
without using the method onCreateOptionsMenu
My code:
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.week); //your icon
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v ) {
}
});
Thanks in advance!
I think you want to show/hide a menu item based on actions from users. To do that you must use onCreateOptionsMenu and whenever you want to show/hide the menu item, then call invalidateOptionsMenu (this method will call onCreateOptionsMenu again).
boolean mShowMenu = false;
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.your_menu, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.your_menu_item);
item.setVisible(showMenu);
return true;
}
And in your code, when you want to show menu item.
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.week); //your icon
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v ) {
mShowMenu = true;
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
});
And give it a try.
You should need to create menu Interface in xml File Like this
<item
android:id="#+id/settings"
android:title="Setting"
app:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/my_activity"
android:title="My Activity"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#android:drawable/btn_radio"/>
After that in the Java code of a particular class You need to create the code like this;
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.my_activity) {
Intent intent1 = new Intent(this,MyActivity.class);
this.startActivity(intent1);
return true;
}
if (id == R.id.settings) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Setting", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
Hopefully this may resolve your problem
I have a navigation drawer and I would like to add a view (Button, etc) to the menu. I don't want to use XML, therefore I am not using an inflator. I tried the setActionView method based on these examples at https://www.codota.com/android/methods/android.view.MenuItem/setActionView but I am getting an empty menu. Is what I am trying to do is possible? Here is my relevant part of code:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuItem item = menu.add("search");
SearchView sv = new SearchView(this);
item.setActionView(sv);
return true;
}
private static final int MENU_ITEM_ITEM1 = 1;
...
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(Menu.NONE, MENU_ITEM_ITEM1, Menu.NONE, "Item name");
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case MENU_ITEM_ITEM1:
//your action
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
I am trying to hide the menu in the TableLayout with ViewPager I want the menu only in the solutions tab. I used the onPrepareOptionsmenu to hide the menu in tabs except the solutions tab. the thing is my onOptionsItemSelected is not working.
code:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inf = getMenuInflater();
inf.inflate(R.menu.simpleadd,menu);
// +getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.simpleadd, menu);
onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
if (viewpager.getCurrentItem()==0){
menu.findItem(R.id.simpleadd).setVisible(false);
} else if(viewpager.getCurrentItem()==1){
menu.findItem(R.id.simpleadd).setVisible(false);
} else if(viewpager.getCurrentItem()==2){
menu.findItem(R.id.simpleadd).setVisible(true);
} else if(viewpager.getCurrentItem()==3){
menu.findItem(R.id.simpleadd).setVisible(false);
}else if(viewpager.getCurrentItem()==4){
menu.findItem(R.id.simpleadd).setVisible(false);
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.simpleadd:
startActivity(new Intent(this,NewSolution.class));
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
thanks in advance,
You have used the layout's name in the switch case of onOptionsItemSelected.
Use menu item's id instead.
First, you need to get item id and then set compare with layout ids,
this helps you to set the functionality. Please find the below sample
code for your reference.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.simpleadd) {
// execute your code here
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I have written one application. I want to show the settings option on the login screen of an application. Now i have an activity LoginActivity as shown below
class LoginActivity extends BaseLoginActivity
{
showLoginDialog();
/* some code here*/
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
populateMenu(menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
protected void populateMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(Menu.NONE, SETTINGS, Menu.NONE, "Settings").setIcon(
android.R.drawable.ic_menu_manage);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case SETTINGS:
startSettingActiviy();
return (true);
}
return (super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
}
public void startSettingActiviy() {
Intent i = new Intent(this, SettingsActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
}
/* some code here*/
}
when i press on the menu option i cannot see the menu. I tried to debug the code, it is not even reaching the oncreateOptionsMenu function. Please let me know what is missing here.
try this
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
populateMenu(menu);
return true;
}
and this too
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case SETTINGS:
startSettingActiviy();
return (true);
}
return true;
}
hope this will help you:)
Try out this way:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
populateMenu(menu);
return true;
}
Give it a try with onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) instead
Also,
Minimum SDK version could be the cause. If you reduce it to 13-, you should probably see the menu show up again. Good article on this subject: POST
