I created a menu, where you can swipe up and down. I created this menu as another activity. Now, I need this menu to be added to on other activities.
Following is the code of my menu(SlidingDrawer)
Java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class DropDownMenu extends Activity {
private TextView addInquiry, addEvent, additionalInfo, addToContacts;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_drop_down_menu);
//Intializing instance variables
addInquiry = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.menu_add_inquiry);
addEvent = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.menu_add_event);
additionalInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.menu_additional_info);
addToContacts = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.menu_add_to_contacts);
//Register the Listeners
addInquiry.setOnClickListener(new AddInquiryEvent());
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.drop_down_menu, menu);
return true;
}
//Test Button
private class AddInquiryEvent implements OnClickListener
{
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(DropDownMenu.this,NewLead.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}

Following is the Code of the other activity
XML

<include layout = "@layout/activity_drop_down_menu"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class SalesInqury extends DropDownMenu {
private ImageView addNewSalesInqury;
private RelativeLayout salesInquryMainLayout;
private TextView testEditSales;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sales_inqury);
//Intializing instance variables
addNewSalesInqury = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.add_new_sales_inqury_btn);
salesInquryMainLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.sales_inqury_main_layout);
testEditSales = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.testWord);
}
}
But, there is an issue. Even thougn I can open the menu in this other activity, I can't click on it's Buttons (TextViews) and navigate to other activities. Why is this?
I think it's because after you've set a contentView in your DropDownMenu activity and bound the listener to the button, in SalesInquiry you set a different contentView. Although this includes the menu-layout, the Views are created anew, so there's no Listener bound to the button anymore.
A solution would either be to specify the menu callbacks in the layout xml via android:onClick="..." or by having a separate method in DropDownMenu that adds the Listener and that you call from your SalesInquiry class after setting the content view.
Example 1, specifying callback in XML
Add android:onClick="onMenuItemClicked" to menu item TextView
<TextView
android:id="@+id/menu_add_inquiry"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="@string/add_inquiry"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="onMenuItemClicked"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"/>
Add this method to DropDownMenu class and remove the AddInquiryEvent class and the registering of the listeners.
public void onMenuItemClicked(View view) {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.menu_add_inquiry:
Intent intent = new Intent(DropDownMenu.this,NewLead.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
case R.id.menu_other:
// handle other menu item
break;
// ... and so on ...
default:;
}
}
Example 2, bind listeners in a separate method
In DropDownMenu move the registering of the Listeners to a separate method:
protected void registerListeners() {
//Register the Listeners
findViewById(R.id.menu_add_inquiry).setOnClickListener(new AddInquiryEvent());
}
Note, that you have to find the view again, as the one kept in the local variable is the wrong one, after SalesInquiry set it's content view.
Call the method in SalesInquiry after setting the content view.
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sales_inqury);
registerListeners();
