Android :: Android: Options Menu More-list With Icons
Sep 7, 2010
I love how Android automaticly displays a number of menuitems in the options menu and when there are too many for your screen, it displays a 'More' button. I'd like to keep it that way, but the menuitems in the popup that you get when you press 'More' don't have the menuicons. Is there a way that I can overrule this? If not, how can I display my own popup when the user clicks 'More'? I still want that Android figures out how many menuitems fit on the users screen.

I created a basic options menu, here an example of creating an element of me menu: menu.add(0, MENU_BACKWARD, 0, "").setIcon(R.drawable.btn_backward);
As you can see I don't want to show any text in this menu, just an icon ! But when the menu is showed, there is a "ugly" blank under the icon (the text is supposed to be there) and I want to avoid this. A least if it's possible to center the icon the options menus, it will be great.

I have an Options menu up and running in my Android application and I've overridden the onCreateOptionsMenu, onOptionsItemSelected and onPrepareOptionsMenu methods to customize the menu a little. My question is related to keeping the Options menu open after the user clicks on a menu item. Basically, I'd like to be able to hide the menu until the user clicks on the device menu key. Once the user clicks on this key, I'd like to be able to hold the menu in place regardless of how many times the user clicks on menu items. If the user wants to hide the Options menu, they'd just need to click on the device menu key again. Is this type of interaction supported (or even advisable).

I was trying to set up my options menu so that there would be 2 buttons on the 1st and 2nd row and then 1 button on the 3rd row. Here is the code I was trying to use but I'm guessing groupID argument isn't what I thought it was.
menu.add(1, MENU_NAME, 1, "by Name");
menu.add(1, MENU_NUMBER, 2, "by Number");
menu.add(2, MENU_POSITION, 1, "by Position");
menu.add(2, MENU_COLLEGE, 2, "by College");
menu.add(3, MENU_UPDATE, 1, "Update Roster");
Maybe this is solved somehow with the XML Layout but I'm not really good with the layouts ;( So I managed to not get too far that way either.

In my application, I have extended SurfaceView and ListView. I create a LinearLayout as below
mainForm = new LinearLayout(this); mainForm.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL); mainForm.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
I then add the SurfaceView and ListView to the mainForm and then setContentView(mainForm);
I also override onPrepareOptionsMenu and call menu.clear() and then dynamically create menus each time the menu button is pressed by the user. The application loads fine and the SurfaceView works fine as I directly draw images to it in a sleep loop. The ListView displays items and is desined to refreshed with new items. The options menu also displays once as well................................

I have an Options Menu on my Activity with an MenuItem "Start". When this MenuItem is selected I would like to alter the Menu so it contains a MenuItem "Stop". And finally when "Stop" is selected, I would like to alter back to "Start". Here is parts of my code that isn't working. I have both "Start" and "Stop" listed in mymenu.xml I should probably remove "stop" when the menu is created:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private boolean isStarted = false;
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
menu.removeItem(R.id.stop);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.mymenu, menu);
return true;....................

I am writing an activity where the user is supposed to some editing and is critical. In this activity, I dont want pressing of Call key to make it go to Call Log so I handle onKeyDown call back and there if the key pressed is Call, I just return true. That solves my problem. But, if Options menu is opened and then I press Call button, I am not getting control in onKeyDown.

Can Activity "A" open the options menu of a view in Activity "B"? In this case I am building Activity A but Activity B can be any other running activity. I think this is an impossible security violation but I really want someone to prove me wrong.

I'm trying to change the default color for the options menu which is white. I want a black background for every item on the options menu. I've tried some shoots like android:itemBackground="#000000" on the item element within the menu element but it doesn't work. I don't know if this is doable or not. Any idea would be welcome! :)

I want to have an options menu that is available to all Activities in my app (on pressing the MENU button). I've been doing this by creating it in onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) for each Activity but this seems redundant. Is there a way to create it in one place and have it available in all Activities?

I wanted to create a static options menu for all my activity screens. I dont want to override onCreateOptionsMenu() in each activity. Since Menu class is an interface with a huge number of methods, its difficult to create a static object of the implementing class.

I want to use addIntentOptions to drive my menus when ever possible. This seems the cleanest way to provide them. Rather than explicitly detailing activities, simply ask for a menu listing all the activities which are available for my data item.So I'm trying to put together a context menu for a List View. It works great. Only problem is that I have an activity that has two intents that consume my data type, and only the first shows up.The activity in question in Android Manifest.xml
<activity android:name=".ui.MyActivity" android:label="The title">
<intent-filter android:label="First context label">
<action android:name="com.sample.action.FIRST_ACTION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.SELECTED_ALTERNATIVE" />
<data android:scheme="myscheme" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter android:label="Second context label">
<action android:name="com.sample.action.SECOND_ACTION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.SELECTED_ALTERNATIVE" />
<data android:scheme="myscheme" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

When I run my app, I see about 8 or 9 icons in the main phone menu. One is to run the app, and the others actually run activities within the app.I want there to only be one icon for users.Any ideas as to why this is happening?My code is structured similar to examples from the book "Android - A Programmers Guide" by JF DiMarzio.How do I hide the other icons so users have to start at the main menu screen?

The options menu's "More" button gets localized automatically, while the rest of the app isn't localized. The "More" button changes to "Mas" because the I picked "espanol" as my language. How do I prevent the "More" button from getting localized?

I am receiving an inflation error when pressing the Menu button and adding a menu item in the onCreateOptionsMenu method. I've included some of the error below.The code is as follows, and works if I try it on its own and not as part of my activity as a whole. I don't think it's feasible to paste in the whole of my activity here (I have no idea which bit could be causing this), so am wondering if anyone has experienced this before?
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu m) {
Log.d(TAG, "Menu Create");
this.menu = m;
m.add(0, 0, 0, "HAZAH!");
return true;
}................................
