【English】Android -> Training -> Adding the Action Bar -> Adding Action Buttons

    Setting up a basic action bar requires that your app use an activity theme that enables the action bar. How to request such a theme depends on which version of Android is the lowest supported by your app. So this lesson is divided into two sections depending on which Android version is your lowest supported.

 

Step 1 : Specify the Actions in XML( main_activity_actions.xml )  Styling the Action Bar.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >


    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_tengxunweibo"
        android:icon="@drawable/c"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
        android:title="@string/action_search"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_space"
        android:icon="@drawable/a"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
        android:title="@string/action_search"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_baidu"
        android:icon="@drawable/d"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
        android:title="@string/action_search"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_settings"
        android:showAsAction="never"
        android:title="@string/action_settings"/>


</menu> 

step 2 : Modify MainActivity.java ( onCreateOptionsMenu & onMenuItemSelected )

package com.example.settinguptheactionbar;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	private TextView textView;

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
		textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
	}

	@Override
	public boolean <span style="color:#000099;">onCreateOptionsMenu</span>(Menu menu) {
		getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
		return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
	}

	@Override
	public boolean <span style="color:#000099;">onMenuItemSelected</span>(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
		switch (item.getItemId()) {
		case R.id.action_baidu:
			promoteInfo(getShowInfo(item.getItemId()));
			return true;
		case R.id.action_tengxunweibo:
			promoteInfo(getShowInfo(item.getItemId()));
			return true;
		case R.id.action_space:
			promoteInfo(getShowInfo(item.getItemId()));
			return true;
		default:
			return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
		}
	}

	private void promoteInfo(String info) {
		textView.setText(info);
	}

	private String getShowInfo(int id) {
		switch (id) {
		case R.id.action_baidu:
			return "Shared to Bai Du";
		case R.id.action_tengxunweibo:
			return "Shared to Teng Xun Wei Bo";
		case R.id.action_space:
			return "Shared to QQ Space";
		default:
			return "failed to Share";
		}
	}
}
