Android overflow menu overlapping actionbar - java

I'm trying to make a menu with two items, "Exit" and "Settings", where the "Exit" item is located on the actionbar, while the "Settings" item is located in the overflow menu.
However when I click on the menu icon, the overflow menu overlaps the "Exit" item. Is there anyway I can prevent this behaviour?
This is what's currently happening
This is what I'm trying to achive

You can change this behaviour by creating a style with a vertical offset, like so:
<style name="OverflowMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<!-- Required for pre-Lollipop. -->
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">-4.0dip</item>
<!-- Required for Lollipop. -->
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">4.0dip</item>
</style>
You can then apply this style in your theme:
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">#style/OverflowMenu</item>

How to make option menu appear on bottom of the screen?

Here is what I am trying to implement: when people click on the menu on top right corner of a toolbar, an options menu appears on bottom of the screen. See picture below:
I am not sure what method should I call for the item at the bottom. Can somebody give me some hint on how to implement this?
I implement successfully the icon in the top right menu bar with the code below. But I don't know how to show the options at the bottom of the screen, with width match_parent, and height wrap_content
onClick on the right top corner
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.edit_profile_image_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id) {
case R.id.more:
//How to show the 2 option in the bottom of screen here
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

OLD ANSWER
try this attach this PopupMenu in your bottom view click event something like button click event
step 1
create a view at bootom of your layout like this
<View
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/myView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
step 2 create a new_menu.xml file like this
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/temp"
android:title="#string/str_menu_account_logout"
android:icon="#drawable/next"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"></item>
</menu>
now add this code to create option menu in your java file
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.new_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.temp) {
PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(this, findViewById(R.id.myView),Gravity.CENTER);
popupMenu.inflate(R.menu.home_menu);
popupMenu.show();
return true;
}
return false;
}

I will suggest to use the Material design App Bar(Bottom), with few modifications you can get the result.
Try this https://material.io/design/components/app-bars-bottom.html
hope this will help.

Simple.
Make a dialog with its own contents which will makeup the bottom menu.
When user clicks there above then the dialog should show but its position would be below i.e. anchored with the bottom. You can find many codes regarding how to position dialog at the bottom of the scree anchored!! SO not adding any.Hope it helps.!

Answer by #Nilesh is very elaborate and bit complicated.
Simple Solution
Create FrameLayout and arrange your buttons inside frame layout depending on your requirements. Set id -- I use id = "menu"
Set visibility to gone android:visibility = "gone"
On menubutton click
findViewById(R.id.menu).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
Now to make menu disappear when you click outside the menu, add an empty view or layout behind the menu. set ontouch listner. Set visibility GONE when the background view is touched.

there is no need to reinvent the wheel; use a BottomNavigationView, which is being provided by:
dependencies {
api "com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0"
}
it can be added into the layout alike this (set gone by default):
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:visiblity="gone"
app:menu="#menu/bottom" />
the menu/bottom.xml:
<menu
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:title="#string/menu_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search" />
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/menu_settings"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_add" />
</menu>
then hook into the onMenuOpened() event:
#Override
public boolean onMenuOpened(int featureId, Menu menu) {
this.mBottomNavigationView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
return super.onMenuOpened(featureId, menu);
}
and also implement method onOptionsItemSelected():
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_search:
...
this.hideBottomNavigation();
return true;
case R.id.action_settings:
...
this.hideBottomNavigation();
return true;
default:
this.hideBottomNavigation();
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
private void hideBottomNavigation() {
this.mBottomNavigationView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
BottomSheetDialogFragment would indeed be the other option available, while it does not support inflating a menu, but a fragment ...nevertheless it would merely be the same approach.

You can now use Material Design BottomAppBar
1st add this in build.gradle where all are being implemented
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
create menu
anyname.xml
2nd add coordinator layout and inside it bottomAppBaradd menu and navigation as given here
3rd Add code by initialising
private var mBottomAppBar: BottomAppBar ?= null
Then add them into the method
//bottom bar
mBottomAppBar = findViewById(R.id.bar)
mBottomAppBar?.setOnMenuItemClickListener{
when(it.itemId){
R.id.itemConfig->showConfigBottomSheetDialogFragment()
}
true
}
mBottomAppBar?.setNavigationOnClickListener{
startContentHighlightActivity()
}
}
The navigation will directly work and the menu will work according to the items you will add.

//This is click event of button
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
switch (view.getId()){
case R.id.buttonSort:
PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(this, findViewById(R.id.myView),Gravity.CENTER);
popupMenu.inflate(R.menu.bottom_menu);
popupMenu.show();
break;
}
This is my home_menu.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/bottom_menu_price"
android:title="Price low to high"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_price_low"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/bottom_menu_price_high"
android:title="Price high to low"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_price_high"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/bottom_menu_date"
android:title="New Added"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_date_sort"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/bottom_menu_rate"
android:title="Best Rated"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_rate_sort"

Cant use Appbar with Buttons

I started working with the Holo Theme, and I want to build my app with this Theme (without using the Compact)
The problem is that my App bar is whithout the Buttons. (I cannot use the ifRoom option for showing the menus icons).
my menu code:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
app:showAsAction="never" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:orderInCategory="105"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="#string/action_search"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_edit"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_edit"
android:orderInCategory="110"
android:title="#string/action_edit"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
and my Java Class:
package myfirsttry.another;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "linir.key";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
public void sendMessage(View view){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, secondActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etInput);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE,message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Thanks

The app:showAsAction is only applicable if you use AppCompat as is strongly recommended for compatibility and consistency across all API levels.
If you'd like to only use the system provided action bar, then you'd replace all instances of app:showAsAction with android:showAsAction.

No actions or icons showing on the actionbar; only in overflow

I'm not really new to programming but a complete fresh noob regarding android and java.
I recently made the decision to programm an Android App using this tutorial.
I got till the actionbar and can even display some actions like search and settings in the overflow. What I cant manage to do is to let an action appear on the actionbar(with or without icon).
I managed to it once with this tutorial but I somehow cant repeat it on my actual "Tutorialapp".
Here is my code:
main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.example.newapp.MainActivity" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
MainActivity.java:
package com.example.newapp;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.newapp.MESSAGE";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_search:
openSearch();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
private void openSearch() {
Toast.makeText(this, "This is a Search Button", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void sendMessage (View view){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

try swapping the menu items:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="101"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
</menu>

I dont know why, but you need to specify in java code the action always. I had the same problem, and I solved it like that:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
menu.findItem(R.id.actionSearch).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
return true;
}
Hope it solve your problem. :D!! Good Luck!

How to add action bar to Android app?

I just start with Android. Want to add action bar following the tutorial. I was added res/menu/main_activity_actions.xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:NecoSeparator="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<!-- Search, should appear as action button -->
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
NecoSeparator:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
<!-- Settings, should always be in the overflow -->
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:showAsAction="never" />
In MainActivity.java i do:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
But Eclipse says that cant find : R.menu.main_activity_actions.
What's wrong with this code? I have to do something more with this xml file?
UPDATE
MainActivity.java
package com.example.necoseparator;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle presses on the action bar items
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_search:
openSearch();
return true;
case R.id.action_settings:
openSettings();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

I Think main problem is to saving your menu layout, if you have an error in file its might happened. please change your menu file with my code and save that and import R file (make sure that is not android.R and its must be YourPackageName.R) then clean your project and run.
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:showAsAction="never"
android:title="filtered"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_load"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_luncher"
android:orderInCategory="200"
android:showAsAction="always"
android:title="update"/>
</menu>

Remove this line xmlns:NecoSeparator="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto and try again
<!-- Settings, should always be in the overflow -->
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>

You can use Toolbar
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar1);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
and add list of menus
