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.
Android question. If i create an Options menu with menu.xml, can I change the menu buttons' standard text size, color etc using xml? I would like to change text size, bold, and color. I would like to avoid using themes and styles for this application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to manage the options items, making one button visible and another invisible based on whether a background service is active.

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! :)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to know the way to make a user interface for Android for people that have low vision. The idea is to make a UI with the following features: 1- Uses very very big buttons. 2 -Uses very big font size. 3- Te colors to use are basically black and white (for more contrast). 4- The icons in this UI are not relevant. 5- We must sacrifice the number of chars that we can show in the screen to get bigger labels and buttons. 6- A simple zoom system for the images should be a great idea. 7- We can use the camera of the phone to get a magnifying glass. I'm member of a blind people association in Spain and we think that this should be a great idea for begining a new low-vision-user- interface that is not aviable in the market for the new mobile phones. This will help many people that uses movile phones but have many difficulties to work with them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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).
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn 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................................

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wonder if there is a way to expand the power buttons "phone options" with things like 'reboot' for example. Yes, I know some themes have this ability, but I am looking just to expand the power button offerings and wonder if there is a root option or file edit or something can do so. Not interested in installing a theme just for this, they are not my gig, so I will pass on that as an option - so if the answer is no then, no worries.
