Show menu items in action bar

Show menu items in action bar

Menu items are showing on action BAR

Android action bar was used to maintain a consistent navigation across the application. Menu list button show on action bar.

Screen shot

Android - Navigation

Overview of Action Bar

Action bar mainly contains four functional areas. They are app icon, view control, action buttons and action overflow.
App Icon – App branding logo or icon will be displayed here.
View Control – A dedicated space to display app title. Also provides option to switch between views by adding spinner or tabbed navigation.
Action Buttons – Some important actions of the app can be added here.
Action Overflow – All unimportant action will be shown as a menu.

Here the important xml attributes should be known are

android:icon – Defines the icon of the action item.
android:title – Title for the icon.
android:showAsAction – Defines the visibility of the action item. It accepts following values.

ifRoom	Displays the icon if there is space available on the screen
never	Never places this icon on the action bar
always	Forces to display the icon always irrespective of space available. This way is not suggested.
withText	Displays a text along with the icon. Normally the text value defined by android:title will be displayed
collapseActionView	Defines the action layout associated with it. This action view defined usingandroid:actionLayout or android:actionViewClass

Example

Add menu title set as res/values/strings.xml


<resources>

    ....
    <string name="entries">ENTRIES</string>
    <string name="entrieslist">ENTRIES LIST</string>
    <string name="salesreport">SALES REPORT</string>
    <string name="logout">LOGOUT</string>


</resources>

Create a new xml file under res ⇒ menu named main_actions.xml and add the following code. 

Here each <item> indicates each action item.

<?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/entries"
        android:title="@string/entries"
        app:showAsAction="never"
        />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/entrieslist"
        android:title="@string/entrieslist"
        app:showAsAction="never"
        />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/salesreport"
        android:title="@string/salesreport"
        app:showAsAction="never"
        />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/logout"
        android:title="@string/logout"
        app:showAsAction="never"
        />
</menu>


Now open your main activity class and do the following in onCreateOptionsMenu() method.


public class RptsalesreportActivity extends AppCompatActivity {


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_rptsalesreport);

         ...............
    } 


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_actions, menu);

        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

         switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.entries:
            // code here
            return true;
        case R.id.entrieslist:
            //code here
            return true;
        case R.id.salesreport:
            //code here
            return true;
        case R.id.logout:
            //code here
            return true;      
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
        
    }


}

Handling Action Bar Icon Click Events

Open your main activity and override onOptionsItemSelected() method. This method accepts menu item as a parameter. Selected action item can be identified by using it’s id.

Transfer Data Between Activities Using Intent
Android Programming Tips

Transfer Data Between Activities Using Intent

user interface is displayed through an activity(Screen). Activity is used to represent the data to user and allows user interaction. In an android application, we can have multiple activities and they can interact with each other


Interaction between multiple activities can be done only using Intent. Intents are objects of theandroid.content.Intent type. Your code can send them to the Android system defining the components you are targeting. In Android app development you face situations where you want to send or receive your data between one Activity (Screen) to another. 

Calling one Activity from another in Android

Define an intent that will be sent to Activity2: Intent launchActivity2 = new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class);

Current activity Activity1 and the one you wish to open - Activity2.


Sample

Intent intent = new Intent(HomeActivity.this, EntriesActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

Button entriesButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnEntries);
entriesButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override    public void onClick(View v) {

        Intent intent = new Intent(HomeActivity.this, EntriesActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
});

pass data between activities on Android





down vote


In your current Activity, create a new Intent:
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NewActivity.class);

i.putExtra("key","value");
startActivity(i);

Then in the new Activity, retrieve those values:
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
    String value = extras.getString("key");
    //The key argument here must match that used in the other activity
}

Use this technique to pass variables from one Activity to the other.






Sample


Current activity


btnGenerate=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnGenerate);
btnGenerate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
    @Override    public void onClick(View view) {

        Intent myIntent = new Intent(RptsalesreportActivity.this, RptsalesreportdisplayActivity.class);
        myIntent.putExtra("day", "12");
        myIntent.putExtra("month", "2");
        myIntent.putExtra("year", "2017");
        startActivity(myIntent);

    }

});






New activity


Intent intent = getIntent();
String day = intent.getStringExtra("day");
String month = intent.getStringExtra("month");
String year = intent.getStringExtra("year");






value access by using getIntent() method.




Android Call An Activity class from a java class





Pass string value and Current Activity Context to function menuActions in Genfunctions class.



Java class like this





package com.example.root.calendar;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;


public class Genfunctions {



    public void menuActions(String title,Context ct){

        //this.context=context;
        switch (title){
            case "ENTRIES":

                Intent intent = new Intent(ct, RptentrylistActivity.class);
                ct.startActivity(intent);
                break;
        }

    }//end of functions

}










Activity Class function call like this






        Genfunctions gn = new Genfunctions();
        gn.menuActions("ENTRIES",this);

    Toast.makeText(myContext, "New row added, row id: " + rowInserted, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
else
    Toast.makeText(myContext, "Something wrong", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Called from main activity for save item record to SQLite table and return status true or false.

public boolean insertItem(HashMap<String, String> queryValues) {


    SQLiteDatabase database = this.getWritableDatabase();
    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();


    values.put("edate",queryValues.get("edate"));
    values.put("item",queryValues.get("item"));
    values.put("amount",queryValues.get("amount"));
    values.put("number",queryValues.get("number"));
    values.put("count",queryValues.get("count"));

        long rowInserted = database.insert("customerentries", null, values);

        if(rowInserted != -1) {
            database.close();
            return true;
        }

How do I get values from a dynamically created android TableRow?

getChildAt to get a hold of the two TextViews and get the data:

tr.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   public void onClick(View view) {
      TableRow t = (TableRow) view;
      TextView firstTextView = (TextView) t.getChildAt(0);
      TextView secondTextView = (TextView) t.getChildAt(1);
      String firstText = firstTextView.getText().toString();
      String secondText = secondTextView.getText().toString();
   }
});

Solution for the get values of selected row on clicked button in table row.

ImageButton b1 = new ImageButton(EntriesActivity.this);
b1.setImageResource(R.drawable.delete);
b1.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override    public void onClick(View v) {
        final TableRow parent = (TableRow) v.getParent();

        //code for remove concerned row
        //stk.removeView(parent);
        TextView items = (TextView) parent.getChildAt(7);

        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items.getText().toString() ,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


    }
});

row.addView(b1);

How to hide a particular column in Android TableRow

Try to Use setVisibility(View.GONE); 

t3v.setVisibility(View.GONE);

TextView id = new TextView(EntriesActivity.this);
id.setText(content.get("id").toString());
id.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
id.setVisibility(View.GONE);
row.addView(id);

Get total RowCount for TableLayout in Android

Through this code you can get the total rowCount for TableLayout

TableLayoutName.getChildCount();

Examples

TableLayout tb = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.table_main);

if(tb.getChildCount()>1){

.....Code Here.....

}

Adding space between columns of a TableLayout

 Programetically  add

  TextView count = new TextView(RptsalesreportdisplayActivity.this);
  count.setText(obj.get("count").toString());
  count.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
  count.setPadding(0,0,30,0);
  row.addView(count);

<TableRow
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight=".25"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="col1" />   ...........

Set tablelayout row background color programmatically

tbrow0.setBackgroundResource(R.color.cgreen);
