I am new to using the Sherlock ActionBar and I have make it run in my app and I have a item in the actionbar to but I don't know how to make the item do something when it's clicked all I got is this.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add("Folder")
.setIcon(R.drawable.folder)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
return true;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
//What do i write here?
return true;
I hope you understand what I mean :)
EDIT
Hey I made it work with a little help from this thread that I found and I made a few changes and here is the code! :DDD
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle item selection
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.search:
finish();
return true;
case R.id.new_folder:
finish();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Try this, it works:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.layout.menu, menu);
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle item selection
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.settings:
Intent i=new Intent(class1.this, clas2.class);
startActivity(i);
return true;
}
return false;
}
Something like this (taken from one of my apps).
The activity in this case extends SherlockFragmentActivity
.
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
menu.add(Menu.NONE, R.id.ID_ACTION_EXIT, Menu.NONE,R.string.action_label_exit)
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_close_clear_cancel)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(
com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.ID_ACTION_EXIT:
Main.this.finish();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
The R.id.ACTION_EXIT
is placed in res/values/ids.xml
<resources><item name="ID_ACTION_EXIT" type="id"/></resources>
[EDIT]
Try this then (extends SherlockListActivity). You have to do some editing first. This code comes from the Sherlock demos. You should download them.
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
SubMenu sub = menu.addSubMenu("Theme");
sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock, 0, "Default");
sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light, 0, "Light");
sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light_DarkActionBar, 0, "Light (Dark Action Bar)");
sub.getItem().setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home || item.getItemId() == 0) {
return false;
}
THEME = item.getItemId();
Toast.makeText(this, "Theme changed to \"" + item.getTitle() + "\"", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
Please try this too.
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater;
import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem;
public class ActionBarTestActivity extends SherlockActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_action_bar_test);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.activity_action_bar_test, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.phone:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You selected Phone",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.computer:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You selected Computer",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.gamepad:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You selected Gamepad",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.camera:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You selected Camera",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.video:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You selected Video",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.email:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You selected EMail",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
return true;
}
}
You use this one
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
getSherlockActivity().getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.settingmenu, menu);
getSherlockActivity().getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menugridcalendar,me
}
This will be added in your sherlockfragment activity:
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.settings:
Intent intent=new Intent(currentclass.this, calledclass.class);
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
return false;
}
