Inherited methods

Constants

SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS

This constant is deprecated.
Use MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS directly.

Always show this item as a button in an Action Bar. Use sparingly! If too many items are set to always show in the Action Bar it can crowd the Action Bar and degrade the user experience on devices with smaller screens. A good rule of thumb is to have no more than 2 items set to always show at a time.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW

This constant is deprecated.
Use MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW directly.

This item's action view collapses to a normal menu item. When expanded, the action view temporarily takes over a larger segment of its container.

Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)

SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM

This constant is deprecated.
Use MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM directly.

Show this item as a button in an Action Bar if the system decides there is room for it.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

SHOW_AS_ACTION_NEVER

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_NEVER

This constant is deprecated.
Use MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_NEVER directly.

Never show this item as a button in an Action Bar.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT

public static final int SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT

This constant is deprecated.
Use MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT directly.

When this item is in the action bar, always show it with a text label even if it also has an icon specified.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

Public methods

collapseActionView

public static boolean collapseActionView (MenuItem item)

This method is deprecated.
Use MenuItem.collapseActionView() directly.

Collapse the action view associated with this menu item. The menu item must have an action view set, as well as the showAsAction flag SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW. If a listener has been set using setOnActionExpandListener(MenuItem, androidx.core.view.MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener) it will have its MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener.onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem) method invoked. The listener may return false from this method to prevent collapsing the action view.

Parameters
item MenuItem

Returns
boolean true if the action view was collapsed, false otherwise.

expandActionView

public static boolean expandActionView (MenuItem item)

This method is deprecated.
Use MenuItem.expandActionView() directly.

Expand the action view associated with this menu item. The menu item must have an action view set, as well as the showAsAction flag SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW. If a listener has been set using setOnActionExpandListener(MenuItem, OnActionExpandListener) it will have its MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener.onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem) method invoked. The listener may return false from this method to prevent expanding the action view.
