Bottom navigation On navigation item select listener not working

I want to build bottom navigation with activity for my app and after completing my bottom nav. layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/Bottomnav"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="42dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
app:menu="#menu/bottomnav_menus">
</android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Next I gone into my Main activity for implementing onnavigationitemselectlistner, but after doing this method without any error my bottom nav. not working.
bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.live:
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, LiveScore.class);
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
my menu items :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:title=""
android:id="#+id/home"
android:icon="#drawable/baseline_home_black_24dp"
android:orderInCategory="1"/>
<item
android:title=""
android:id="#+id/live"
android:icon="#drawable/baseline_live_tv_black_24dp"

<item
android:title=""
android:id="#+id/video"
android:icon="#drawable/baseline_video_library_black_24dp"
android:orderInCategory="3"/>
</menu>
Please Comment If you want any other info.

make sure you are adding below code
navView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new ...);
navView.setOnNavigationItemReselectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemReselectedListener() {
#Override
public void onNavigationItemReselected(#NonNull MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Reselected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
after
NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navView, navController);
this

Try below, it works fine for me
menu xml

}
FragmentTransaction transaction =
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.container, selectedFragment);

return true;
}
});

replace this
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.live:
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, LiveScore.class);

}
return false;
by this
switch (item.getItemId())

break;
}
return true;

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);
}
Update
After implement the code of Nikesh, the popup shown like this:

UPDATED ANSWER
You can now use Material Design BottomAppBar

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"
/>

Android setting custom actionbar

In my project i would to set a custom actionBar (with a custom layout) after a specific action.
I have this simple Activity:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
public class MainActivity2 extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_activity2);
}
#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_activity2, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_settings:
//apriImpostazioni ();
return true;
case R.id.information_item:
//apriInformazioni ();
return true;
case R.id.search_item:
apriBarraRicerca ();
System.out.println ("IL BOTTONE RICERCA E' PREMUTO");
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
private void apriBarraRicerca () {
getActionBar ().setCustomView(getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.search_layout, null));
}
}
Where "menu_main_activity2" is this 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="zipangulu.myapplication.MainActivity2">
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings" android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100" app:showAsAction="never" />
<item android:id="#+id/information_item"
android:title="Info"
android:icon="#drawable/info"
android:orderInCategory="100"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item android:id="#+id/search_item"
android:title="Search"
android:icon="#drawable/search_icon"
android:orderInCategory="100"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
I would, pressing the search_item on the main actionbar, set a custom actionBar whith this layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#4584d3">
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/back_button"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/back_icon"/>
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="6"
android:id="#+id/campo_ricerca"/>
<Spinner
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown"
android:id="#+id/spinner_anno"/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/search_icon"
android:id="#+id/avvia_ricerca"/>
</LinearLayout>
But at runtime I have a NullPointerException in the body of "apriBarraRicerca" method..why?How can I fix this problem?
EDIT: as suggested I replaced "getActionBar ()" with "getSupportActionBar ()", now I don't have any exception but nothing happens.
EDIT2: I added getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true); and now my custom actionbar is visible but not as i want, look at the following image:

The bar is visible but cutted, and are visible also the items of the previous actionBar..

You can try do the same thing with the android.support.v7.widget.ToolBar
Your Layout which you can populate as you desire:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#688A08"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
You have to modify the values->styles.xml:
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
</style>
</resources>
And the in the onCreate() method you do the following:
Toolbar tb = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.top_bar);
if(tb != null){
setSupportActionBar(tb);
}
Hope it helps!!!

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!
