I have 10 to 12 Activity
, All Activity
has Help Menu
as an Option Menu
.
I am succeed with following code to create it and showing help on click of them.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(cacheDir, "HELP.pdf")),"application/pdf");
context.startActivity(intent);
But I want to Reduce this code for all Activity, and for that i have created one class and make one method but still i want to reduce code.
I have searched and found that onClick
attribute is available in OptionMenu
but I didn't get how to use it.
Please Help..
Create a class, for example call it Helper
, where you put a method called handleMenu(int id)
and where you do all the work. Then, in every activity you call that method from onOptionsItemSelected()
, passing the id of the item selected.
I have created following Class for openFile:
public class OpenHelpFile {
File cacheDir;
Context context;
/* Constructor */
public OpenHelpFile(Context context) {
this.context = context;
if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
cacheDir = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "OOPS");
else
cacheDir = context.getCacheDir();
if (!cacheDir.exists())
cacheDir.mkdirs();
try {
File helpFile = new File(cacheDir, "OOPS.pdf");
if (!helpFile.exists()) {
InputStream in = context.getAssets().open("OOPS.pdf");
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(helpFile);
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
in.close();
out.close();
Log.d(TAG, "File Copied...");
}
Log.d(TAG, "File exist...");
} catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
Log.d(TAG, ex.getMessage() + " in the specified directory.");
System.exit(0);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(TAG, e.getMessage());
}
}
public void openHelpFile() {
/* OPEN PDF File in Viewer */
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(cacheDir, "OOPS.pdf")), "application/pdf");
context.startActivity(intent);
}
}
and I have call it from every OptionMenu
like this:
new OpenHelpFile(context).openHelpFile();
