How to Recognise which menuItem is disabled? - java

Heyy,
I have implemented menu, where there are two menu items and when I click on first item, the other menu item goes disabled and vise-versa.
And when I click on back button navigation icon, I have to check if first item is disabled or not and if disabled, then turn the second item enabled, and if not then onBackPressed();
So, I don't know how to recognize which item is disabled.
Please help me fast.
There are some code references
This is my current try and it also have some errors. Please help me find another way or fix this code.
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (menu.getItem(0).getActionView().getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
onBackPressed();
} else {
menu.getItem(1).setEnabled(false);
menu.getItem(1).setVisible(false);
menu.getItem(0).setEnabled(true);
menu.getItem(0).setVisible(true);
}
}
});

in onCreateOptionsMenu() store the menu into a local class field, and then to check if a certain menu item is enabled/disabled use isEnabled()
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.item_id);
if (item.isEnabled()) {
// enabled
} else {
// not enabled
}
Or you can use the order of the item among the menu items to get a particular item
MenuItem item = menu.getItem(0);

How can I fix the problem that a MenuItem takes on the ID of a previous one

At the beginning I have two items and the 2nd gets a listener with:
final View view = findViewById(R.id.list_item);
if (view != null) {
view.setOnLongClickListener(v -> {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Long pressed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
});
}
}
But if I add a new item with menu.add("name"); the listener is on the newly added item and not on the old one (list_item)
I have already tested many other alternatives, but they don't work!
I just need help on how to keep the item ID or how the listener stays on the item.
When you add an item using ``menu.add(...)` it returns a reference to the newly added item. You can set the listener like this:
final MenuItem newItem = menu.add("New item");
newItem.setOnMenuItemClickListener(menuItem -> {
// Handle your click here!
return true;
});
However, you should add/remove menu items by overriding onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu). When you use menu.add(...) use the overload that allows you to set the itemId:
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(Menu.NONE, 314159, Menu.NONE, "New item");
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Note that the above will be called each time the menu is going to be shown (very convenient).
Then you can handle the menu being selected from onOptionsItemSelected:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == 314159) {
// Handle menu selection here!
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

How to temporarily block the ability to click a menu item

I have a menu when I click on a specific element of which the activity opens, but the user can quickly click menu iten 2 times, which will lead to the opening of the activity 2 times. How can I block the ability to press a button after the first press?
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.create) {
// start activity
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I know about setEnabled, but when I return to enabled activity, it remains false, and it seems inconvenient to save MenuItem and return its state. Anyone have any ideas how to do this optimally?
I found the best solution to this problem. To do this, add the FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag to the Intent. Thanks to this, it will be impossible to create 2 activities.
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

How to add toolbar menu items programmatically and set onOptionsItemSelected

How can I add menu items to the menu of the DrawerLayout in Java and set onOptionsItemSelected to it. (I don't know how many items are needed; the user adds them)
I have an arraylist of custom objects that have a title that I want to display in the menu and when clicked on the item I want to change what is being displayed in the main Activity, by passing which one of the objects was clicked on.
I know that it is possible to add a menu item like this, but the problem is that I don't know how many there are going to be, so setting the onOptionsItemSelected to the right amount of items is what I am looking for
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:
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
Thanks for your help!
EDIT:
I see how how this might seem like a duplicate question, but the other questions and answers did not help. I am looking for a way to set onOptionsItemSelected to an unknown amount of items (the size of an ArrayList) and then display the selected Object in the main Activity
Thanks

Check if popup menu become inactive / check if popup menu is visible

Hello I am making a small app where i have a list and different popup menus.
I am shading the selected item when the popup menu is triggered.
Is there a way to check if the popup menu that has been active is now not active any more?
For instance I have the popup menu open and i press somewhere else on the screen. The popup menu Disappears. Is there a listener to capture that?
popupMenu2 = new PopupMenu(getContext(), v);
popupMenu2.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popup_unknown_number,
popupMenu2.getMenu());
popupMenu2.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new
PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.delete_unknown) deleteVM(v,model);
return true;
}
});
popupMenu2.show();
Shading is done by
v.setSelected(true);
Found he answer. There is a dismiss listener for PopupMenus
popupMenu.setOnDismissListener(new PopupMenu.OnDismissListener(){
#Override
public void onDismiss(PopupMenu popupMenu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});

Action Bar Home Button not functional with nested PreferenceScreen

I found a workaround to actually enable the ActionBar home button on the nested PreferenceScreen... however it doesn't call OnOptionsItemSelected in my PreferenceActivity. Anyone know a way to actually use the home button on a nested PreferenceScreen?
Modification of post 35 here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4611
#Override
public boolean onPreferenceTreeClick(PreferenceScreen preferenceScreen, Preference preference)
{
super.onPreferenceTreeClick(preferenceScreen, preference);
if (preference!=null)
if (preference instanceof PreferenceScreen)
if (((PreferenceScreen)preference).getDialog()!=null)
((PreferenceScreen)preference).getDialog().getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
return false;
}
I had this problem recently and this is how I solved it. Firstly to access the PreferenceScreen I use the exact same method you mentioned above.
#Override
public boolean onPreferenceTreeClick(PreferenceScreen preferenceScreen, Preference preference) {
super.onPreferenceTreeClick(preferenceScreen, preference);
// If the user has clicked on a preference screen, set up the action bar
if (preference instanceof PreferenceScreen) {
initializeActionBar((PreferenceScreen) preference);
}
return false;
}
From here I looked into what a PreferenceScreen is, and I was saddened to find out it is just wrapper of a Dialog. Moving forward, I then set the actionbar display options and attempt find the home button area. This unfortunately wasn't too easy to get, but with the help of the hierarchy viewer I managed to gain access by finding the home icon and then its parent views. Once we have access to the containing LinearLayout, we can attach an onClickListener where we dismiss the PreferenceScreen's dialog, which calls PreferenceScreen's onDismissListener and returns us to the previous screen.
/** Sets up the action bar for an {#link PreferenceScreen} */
public static void initializeActionBar(PreferenceScreen preferenceScreen) {
final Dialog dialog = preferenceScreen.getDialog();
if (dialog != null) {
// Inialize the action bar
dialog.getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
// Apply custom home button area click listener to close the PreferenceScreen because PreferenceScreens are dialogs which swallow
// events instead of passing to the activity
// Related Issue: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4611
View homeBtn = dialog.findViewById(android.R.id.home);
if (homeBtn != null) {
OnClickListener dismissDialogClickListener = new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
};
// Prepare yourselves for some hacky programming
ViewParent homeBtnContainer = homeBtn.getParent();
// The home button is an ImageView inside a FrameLayout
if (homeBtnContainer instanceof FrameLayout) {
ViewGroup containerParent = (ViewGroup) homeBtnContainer.getParent();
if (containerParent instanceof LinearLayout) {
// This view also contains the title text, set the whole view as clickable
((LinearLayout) containerParent).setOnClickListener(dismissDialogClickListener);
} else {
// Just set it on the home button
((FrameLayout) homeBtnContainer).setOnClickListener(dismissDialogClickListener);
}
} else {
// The 'If all else fails' default case
homeBtn.setOnClickListener(dismissDialogClickListener);
}
}
}
}
