I've got menu_main.xml that works ONLY for activity_main.xml. How to make menu_main.xml works elswhere than only in one activity? When I change content view to another layout the toolbar items from menu_main disappears and leaves me with empty app_bar.
menu_main.xml:
<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=".Przepisy">
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings" android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100" app:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>
main.java:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_przepisy, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
AndroidMainfest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.ambu.przepisy" >
<application

</manifest>
You need to add
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_przepisy, menu);
return true;
to all activities where you want this menu. Inside onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) method.

Ive been having many problems creating my first android app on eclipse.

However, i cannot seem to fix this:

// 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) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long

I want to add a SearchView to my ActionBar, so I've done as in Google Tutorial reported here.
AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name="it.polimi.dima.sound4u.activity.SoundSearchActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_sound_search" >
<intent-filter>

android:label="#string/title_activity_my_gifts" >
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
android:resource="#xml/searchable" />
</activity>
searchable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:hint="#string/search_hint" />
MyGiftsActivity.java
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my_gifts, menu);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
}
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.search:
onSearchRequested();
return true;
case R.id.action_logout:
doLogout();
return true;
case R.id.action_settings:
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

SoundSearchActivity.java
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sound_search);
handleIntent(getIntent());
}
#Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
super.onNewIntent(intent);
handleIntent(intent);
}
private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
Log.w(TAG_LOG, query);
}
}
The SearchView is correctly created and can switch from the Icon mode to the TextView mode but when I push the Search Button on the keyboard the new SoundSearchActivity doesn't start. Anyone can help me?
Try this in your manifest:
Add a meta-data pointing to the SearchActivity in the tag of the Activity where search is started
Move the searchable tag to the SearchAvtivity
Add launchMode="singleTop" to the SearchActivity to make sure there's only one instance of it at top of the stack. New search intents will come in trough onNewIntent which you already implemented.
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
android:resource="#xml/searchable" />
</activity>
<activity
android:name="it.polimi.dima.sound4u.activity.MyGiftsActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_my_gifts" >
<meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
android:value="it.polimi.dima.sound4u.activity.SoundSearchActivity"/>
The initial guide by Google (found here) didn't give me a working SearchView either, but making theses changes did.
i have done the android action bar google tutorial,
but this is what i got:
the action setting button does not appear, and when the search button pressed nothing happens.
can any one tell me what is wrong with the code?
here is the files code..

import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;

System.out.println("TEST SEARCH");
}
public void openSettings(){
System.out.println("TEST SETTINGS");
}
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override

// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
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;

return true;

return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

</application>
</manifest>
In your MainActivityActions.xml, change the android:showAsAction="never" under the settings to "always"
I see you are using AppCompat.
When using appCompat you need to specify more things in the menu xml
Exemple:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:yourapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
yourapp:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
yourapp:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView" />
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
yourapp:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>
Note:
For the search item it's missing the bold part:
yourapp:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
yourapp:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
and the settings item it's missing the following bold part:
yourapp:showAsAction="never"
the actionViewClass means it's going to use the SearchView with the dropdown "window"
you can also use collapseActionView to make the search item expand and collapse if you are not using the searchView
See this video from Chris Banes about appcompat

For the Google Maps API V2, for what I see now you are using the wrong Activity for your map layout. You are using the SupportMapFragment fragment, and there for you have to use the FragmentActivity object and not a simple Activity. try to change it to FragmentActivity.
And tell us what changed.
