Solution 2:
please see :==
private int group1Id = 1;
int homeId = Menu.FIRST;
int profileId = Menu.FIRST +1;
int searchId = Menu.FIRST +2;
int dealsId = Menu.FIRST +3;
int helpId = Menu.FIRST +4;
int contactusId = Menu.FIRST +5;
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(group1Id, homeId, homeId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.home_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, profileId, profileId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.profile_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, searchId, searchId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.search_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, dealsId, dealsId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.deals_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, helpId, helpId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.help_menu);
menu.add(group1Id, contactusId, contactusId, "").setIcon(R.drawable.contactus_menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case 1:
// write your code here
Toast msg = Toast.makeText(MainHomeScreen.this, "Menu 1", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
msg.show();
return true;
case 2:
// write your code here
return true;
case 3:
// write your code here
return true;
case 4:
// write your code here
return true;
case 5:
// write your code here
return true;
case 6:
// write your code here
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Solution 3:
Change your onCreateOptionsMenu
method to return true
. To quote the docs:
You must return true for the menu to be displayed; if you return false it will not be shown.
Solution 4:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
new MenuInflater(this).inflate(R.menu.folderview_options, menu);
return (super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.locationListRefreshLocations) {
Cursor temp = helper.getEmployee(active_employeeId);
String[] matches = new String[1];
if (temp.moveToFirst()) {
matches[0] = helper.getEmployerID(temp);
}
temp.close();
startRosterReceiveBackgroundTask(matches);
} else if (item.getItemId()==R.id.locationListPrefs) {
startActivity(new Intent(this, PreferencesUnlockScreen.class));
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
