onCreateOptionsMenu() does not work in Fragment

I am trying to implement a search Filter in my Fragment, but it does not let me. I used the same code in Activity before and it worked. Whenever I type something, the onCreateOptionsMenu() does not get called. The App looks like this : [![app Picture][1]][1]
As you can see I type something in the top and it won't get filtered.
My Fragment code: `
#Override
public void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
setMenuVisibility(false);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View RootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tab1, container, false);
if(getArguments() != null){
String yourText = getArguments().getString("interessen");
System.out.println(yourText);
}`
.
.
.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menuevents, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
MenuItem searchitem = menu.findItem(R.id.searchEvent);
//searchitem.setVisible(false);
final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchitem.getActionView();
final List<Event> allEvents = new ArrayList<>();
allEvents.addAll(eventList);
searchitem.setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
eventList.clear();
eventList.addAll(allEvents);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
eventList.clear();
eventList.addAll(allEvents);
return true;
}
});
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
eventListAdapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
return false;
}
});
I did not copy the EventListAdapter in, becuase this should work just fine. Its just that the Fragment does not get Access to the SearchItem.
Anybody? :)

You've called setMenuVisibility(), which means your Fragment is specifically opting out of having its menu being shown. It is expected that when your menu isn't shown, onCreateOptionsMenu() is not triggered.
Remove that line of code to have your menu actually be visible.

How to call the menu objects from another class?

These are codes, how to pass the menu object from one class to another?
What's wrong with my code?
This is my MainActivity class.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
String msg = " ";
switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.action_settings:
msg = "Settings";
break;
case R.id.action_report:
msg= "Report";
break;
}
Toast.makeText(this, msg + "Checked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
This is my SecondActivity class
public class Income extends AppCompatActivity{
View_Expenses v = new View_Expenses();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
v.onCreateOptionsMenu(R.menu.main_menu); //Here have problem
}

Copy the same code you used in the first activity in the second one,
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
not the code you tried in onCreate. If you want the menu item responses to be the same, copy the onOptionsItemSelected method too.

SearchView in fragment (inflated menu in activity)

I get NPE on SearchView.OnQueryTextListener.
/res/menu/order_toolbar.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/order_menu_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search"
android:title="#string/order_menu_search"
app:actionViewClass="android.support.widget.v7.SearchView"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" />
<item
android:id="#+id/order_menu_checkmark"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_checkmark"
android:title="#string/order_toolbar"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" />
ActivityOrder.java
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.order_toolbar, menu);
mMenuCheckmark = menu.findItem(R.id.order_menu_checkmark);
mMenuCheckmark.setVisible(false);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
FragmentOrder.java
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.order_menu_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) menuItem.getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "" +newText, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
}
});
}
I'm inflating menu in Activity (i need to hide checkmark and enable it later after the user made some input, all the logic is in the activity), and in Fragment, I have RecyclerView and I need to implement search (in the toolbar). So basically, I need to access that SearchView INSIDE FRAGMENT only.
I have been trying to find anything but nothing helps, if I inflate menu in fragment then I get doubled icons in the toolbar.
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
is already added in onCreate
Also i tried this:
1. inflate the menu in fragment (removed onCreateOptionsMenu in activity)
2. passed menuItem (checkmark) back to activity trough interface so i can access checkmark
3. still getting NPE if i set listener on searchview

I make option menu in fragment. Like this,
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container,
#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
...
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_menu, menu);
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_1).setIcon(ContextCompat.getDrawable(activity, R.drawable.ic_bar_search));
searchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.menu_1).getActionView();
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String s) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String s) {
return false;
}
});
searchView.setOnCloseListener(new SearchView.OnCloseListener() {
#Override
public boolean onClose() {
return false;
}
});
....
}
Not sure, you call "searchView.setOnQueryTextListener" from onCreateOptionsMenu.

Solved:
mMenuSearch = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.order_menu_search).getActionView();
mMenuSearch.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
added implements SearchView.OnQueryTextListener on Fragment and 2 new Override methods onQueryTextSubmit and onQueryTextChanged

Access int data of View Class from Activity

I have a Drawscreen.class file which the main activity and Drawthegraph.class which extends view. I have a method in Drawthegraph.class which I need to call from Drawscreen.class.How can I do that?
Drawscreen.class-
public class Drawscreen extends ActionBarActivity
{
//LinearLayout linear=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
//draw=(Drawthegraph)findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
ActionBar actionbar=getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.show();
View drawthegraph=new Drawthegraph(this);
setContentView(drawthegraph);
drawthegraph.setBackgroundColor(color.Ivory);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.drawscreen, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
switch (item.getItemId())
case R.id.undo:/*Call method of view here*/
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Drawthegraph.class
public class Drawthegraph extends View
{
private int lines;
----
----
public void decrease_lines() /*Call this function from Drawscreen*/
{
if(lines>0)
{
lines--;
}
}

Use your drawthegraph variable as an instance field:
public class Drawscreen extends ActionBarActivity
{
//LinearLayout linear=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
//draw=(Drawthegraph)findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
private Drawthegraph drawthegraph;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
ActionBar actionbar=getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.show();
this.drawthegraph=new Drawthegraph(this);
setContentView(drawthegraph);
drawthegraph.setBackgroundColor(color.Ivory);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.drawscreen, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
switch (item.getItemId())
case R.id.undo:/*Call method of view here*/
drawthegraph.decrease_lines();
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

Your Drawthegraph object must be a field of your Activity:
public class Drawscreen extends ActionBarActivity {
Drawthegraph drawthegraph;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
...
drawthegraph = new Drawthegraph(this);
setContentView(drawthegraph);
drawthegraph.setBackgroundColor(color.Ivory);
}
...
then you can call wherever you want in your Drawscreen:
drawthegraph.decrease_lines();

Some Serious looking bug in instnaceof or App package

I made 2 activities and an Intent extended class named SomeSpecialIntent, when you press on the first activity's textview you go to the second using new SomeSpecialIntent class instnace, but something strange goes with it on the way, because the phrase getIntent() instnaceof SomeSpecialIntent returns false on the second activity!
whats up with that?
the code for the check i made:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
textView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new SomeSpecialIntent(MainActivity.this,SomeActivity.class));
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
public class SomeActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d("Check",""+(getIntent() instanceof SomeSpecialIntent));//returns false!!!!
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
public class SomeSpecialIntent extends Intent {
public SomeSpecialIntent(Context context,
Class<?> class1) {
super(context,class1);
}
}
