I'm trying to create a simple menu with one button that will call a method to clear the array. I don't want to use xml because all I need is one button.
Something like this -
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
button "Clear Array";
onClick{// run method that wipes array};
return true;
}
Thank you
A--C's method works, but you should avoid setting the click listeners manually. Especially when you have multiple menu items.
I prefer this way:
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:
clearArray();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
By using this approach you avoid creating unecessary objects (listeners) and I also find this code easier to read and understand.
Something like this might work:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuItem item = menu.add ("Clear Array");
item.setOnMenuItemClickListener (new OnMenuItemClickListener(){
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick (MenuItem item){
clearArray();
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
Menu
gives us a handy method, add()
, which allows you to add a MenuItem. So we make one.
Then we assign an OnMenuItemClickListener
to the MenuItem
and override its onMenuItemClick()
to do what we want it to do.
Programmatically, I was able to create a simple menu using the following code.
private final int MenuItem_EditId = 1, MenuItem_DeleteId = 0;
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
MenuItem edit_item = menu.add(0, MenuItem_EditId, 0, R.string.edit);
edit_item.setIcon(R.drawable.edit);
edit_item.setShowAsActionFlags(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
MenuItem delete_item = menu.add(0, MenuItem_DeleteId, 1, R.string.edit);
delete_item.setIcon(R.drawable.delete);
delete_item.setShowAsActionFlags(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Here i implemented popup menu dynamically by using a click listener.
Dynamic_PopUpMenu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
PopupMenu menu = new PopupMenu(DialogCheckBox.this, v);
menu.getMenu().add("AGIL"); // menus items
menu.getMenu().add("Dash"); // menus items
menu.getMenu().add("AGILarasan");
menu.getMenu().add("Arasan");
menu.show();
}
});
