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"

So, I am trying to add a PopupMenu to a ActionBar item that sorts the list. I have seen some answers in stackoverflow but none of them worked for me. Below is the code.
XML
Menu Item:
<item
android:id="#+id/sortByBackers"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_sort"
android:title="Sort By Backers"
app:showAsAction="always" />
PopupMenu:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/default_list"
android:title="Default" />
<item
android:id="#+id/sort"
android:title="Sort" />
</menu>
Activity
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.bar_menu, menu);
//...
//...
MenuItem sortItem = menu.findItem(R.id.sortByBackers);
sortItem.setOnMenuItemClickListener(item -> {
View view = findViewById(R.id.default_list);
popupMenu = new PopupMenu(getApplicationContext(), view);
popupMenu.inflate(R.menu.sort_or_default);
popupMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(item1 -> {
switch (item1.getItemId()) {
case R.id.default_list:
kickstarterAdapter.setData(kickstartersList);
break;
case R.id.sort:
kickstarterAdapter.sortList();
break;
default:
kickstarterAdapter.sortList();
}
popupMenu.show();
return true;
});
return true;
});
`
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
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:app="schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_refresh"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:title="Refresh"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_refresh"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="Settings"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
>
</item>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_back"
android:title="Back"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_back"
app:showAsAction="always"
/>
</menu>
EventDetails.java
public class EventDetails extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_event_details);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbarEventDetails);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.eventdetails, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.action_back:
Intent action_back = new Intent(EventDetails.this, EventView.class);
startActivity(action_back);
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
}
Your xmlns:app is not setup properly
change:
xmlns:app="schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
to
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
I just a newbie in android programming, i am building a new app from a tutorial.
I have make the main menu like this
<?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="id.go.kemenkeu.itjen_kemenkeu.MainActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
app:showAsAction="never"
android:title="Settings" />
<item
android:id="#+id/navigate"
android:title="#string/next"
android:orderInCategory="200"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_next"/> </menu>
and the MainActivity.Java like this
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Toolbar toolbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar= (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id=item.getItemId();
if(id==R.id.action_settings){
Toast.makeText(this,"Hi, Anda Baru Saja Menekan"+item.getTitle(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
if(id==R.id.navigate){
startActivity(new Intent(this, SubActivity.class));
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
} }
I call the +id/navigate in MainActivity.Java, but when i run in emulator, the style inside +id/navigate didn't show. What is wrong here?
you have to override createoptionmenu for intialize your own menu in toolbar.
try adding this in you activity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.mymenu_main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
without onCreateOptionsMenu you cant show menu. so add onCreateOptionsMenu to your Activity Class like,
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
Happy Coding!!!
You must inflate the option menu
Add this line.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
You have to override the onCreateOptionsMenu in you Activity and inflate the menu and check it
more details you have to check in Developer Site
import android.widget.ShareActionProvider;
...
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.detailfragment, menu);
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_share);
ShareActionProvider mShareActionProvider = (ShareActionProvider)MenuItemCompat.getActionProvider(menuItem);
if (mShareActionProvider != null) {
mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareForecastIntent());
} else {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Share Action Provider is null?");
}
}
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"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item android:id="#+id/action_share"
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;
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
