Android Sherlock Actionbar菜单项出现错误

Question

as the title suggest, I am getting a problem with the action Bar since i have recently installed android Api 22 under eclipse and jdk-7u76-windows-i586. Before the action Bar keep to display the icon with sdk version 7 and higher. But now icon is displayed only with sdk version 11 and higher,did I miss something or am I just blind?, here are the menu XML file and a screen shot:

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

<item android:id="@+id/share"
      android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_add_group"
      android:title="share info"
      android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

Answer 1

Good i finally find the answer. But what is strange is that the code use to work before the sdk update:Means that this newer version of sdk has a good improvement about XML files. Then more errors get detected by the oldest versions.
Now how to solve problem with sherlock action Bar menu item?

• if you want it to work for android api 11 and higher(Android 4.x or 5.x ) simply add this piece of code:
  Create a file in rsc/menu/ eg:menu.xml
  Now put:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@+id/send" android:title="@string/Send" android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_new_event" android:showAsAction="ifRoom" /> </menu> 

  And add a sample styles:in rsc/values/ :

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar" /> </resources> 

This in your Activity:

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){

    MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.men, menu);


       return true;
    }

• if you want it to work for android api 7 to 10(Android 2.x to Android 3.x) use something like this one in you class Activity:

    THEME == R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light; @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){ boolean isLight = THEME == R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light; menu.add(R.string.Send) .setIcon(isLight ? R.drawable.ic_action_group : R.drawable.ic_action_person) .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM); menu.add(R.id.get) .setIcon(isLight ? R.drawable.ic_action_chat: R.drawable.ic_action_chat) .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT); menu.add("Refresh") .setIcon(isLight ? R.drawable.ic_action_time : R.drawable.ic_action_volume_on) .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT); return true; } 

  To respond to a click use somthing like this:

   @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { if (item.toString()==getString(R.string.Send)) { Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Got click: " + item, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } 

  And add a sample styles:in src/values/ :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <style name="Theme.Styled" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item> <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item> </style> <style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse"> <item name="background">@drawable/bg_striped</item> <item name="android:background">@drawable/bg_striped</item> <item name="backgroundSplit">@drawable/bg_striped_split</item> <item name="android:backgroundSplit">@drawable/bg_striped_split</item> </style> </resources>
