Android Question AddMenu3 questions

[Alberto Michelis]

1) Any way to add the menu conditionally, that is enter the activity without the menu item and by a spinner change activate or deactivate the menu item?
2) In Poltrait mode the menu appears allways in the back of the screen and in landscape, in the action bar.
My icon is very small and the actionbar title too but it never appears in the action bar in poltrate mode.
Thanks

1) Not unless you create a custom action bar.
2) Can you post the relevant code and the icon file?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

  Activity.LoadLayout("posicion")            
  Activity.Title = "PortIt - Tenencia"
  Activity.AddMenuItem3("", "mnuAgregar", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_agregar.png"), True)

Try to use a 16x16 icon instead.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

tride with this and same problem...

 

[Erel]

Are you sure that it is 16x16? Looks like it is 24x24. Can you upload it in a zip file?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

You are right, I change it to 16x 16 (attached) and same problem, it is still in the bottom bar but smaller...
I've attached a screen image too.

Sorry I didn't understand that it appears in the bottom bar. Have you set this attribute in the manifest editor:
SetApplicationAttribute(android:uiOptions, "splitActionBarWhenNarrow") ?

Is this a phone or a tablet?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Yes I have SetApplicationAttribute(android:uiOptions, "splitActionBarWhenNarrow")
in the manifest.

If I comment it then the icon is shown ok in the app bar, but there are many space to do that with the WhenNarrow option.

This is a Phone, a samsung note 3 running android 4.4.2

If you set this attribute then the menu will appear at the bottom of the screen in portrait mode. This is the purpose of this attribute.

As I read, this may happend only if theres no place for the icons in the toolbar.
