This code shows the following error:
incompatible types: ActionProvider cannot be converted to ShareActionProvider
The following is the detailfragment.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:title="#string/action_share"
app:showAsAction="always"
app:actionProviderClass="android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider" />
</menu>
Please help.
android.widget.ShareActionProvider and android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider are not the same class. Change your import to match your actionProviderClass.
it worked for me, give a try.
import android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider
remove it and add this import:
import android.widget.ShareActionProvider;

Previously my app name was being displayed hence I had to use getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false) to remove the text, but now in its place a blank action is displayed with three dots on the side showing the list items that I have defined.
I want Refresh and Back actions to be displayed directly into the action bar with their respective icons
eventdetails.xml

Your xmlns:app is not setup properly
change:

to

I have looked for a solution to the problem on Stack Overflow and google, but nothing seems to help. To clarify, I am talking about the one with the id "favourite"
Here is my menu 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="com.rasmase.smbcbrowser.MainActivity" >
<item android:id="#+id/favourite"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_favourite"
android:title="#string/favourite"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
<item
android:id="#+id/go_to_comic"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/Go_to_comic"
app:showAsAction="never"/>
And my onCreateOptionsMenu:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Anyone else have any idea what is wrong?
EDIT:
Turns out that I am retarded. The Icon was a black star on a black actionbar. Image for reference: http://i.stack.imgur.com/tVWm7.png
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!
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
I am trying to implement a ShareActionProvider in my ActionBarSherlock.
The following code gives me this error :
Cannot cast from ActionProvider to ShareActionProvider
ReadingActivity.java
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu2b, (Menu) menu);
menu.getItem(0).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS|MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
menu.getItem(1).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS|MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.share);
// Get the provider and hold onto it to set/change the share intent.
ShareActionProvider shareActionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) menuItem.getActionProvider();
// Set the default share intent
shareActionProvider.setShareIntent(getDefaultShareIntent());
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
menu2b.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
...
<item android:id="#+id/share"
android:title="Share"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_share_action_bar"
android:actionProviderClass="android.widget.ShareActionProvider"/>
</menu>
You should be using the ShareActionProvider from ABS, not the stock one.
android:actionProviderClass="com.actionbarsherlock.widget.ShareActionProvider"
