I have looked through the questions on stack overflow and can't find the solution.
@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.themenu, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_settings);
MenuItem item2 = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_save);
item.setVisible(isdown);
item2.setVisible(isdown);
return true;
}
This sets my menu items to visible (item1 and item2). the onclick works fine
public void inflateTextarea() {
if(isdown == true) {
isdown = false;
LinearLayout tl = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.content);
tl.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
ScaleAnimation scale = new ScaleAnimation(1, 1, 0, 1);
scale.setFillAfter(true);
scale.setDuration(500);
tl.startAnimation(scale);
}
}
Then this sets my isdown boolean to false. on stack people say that the onPrepareOptionsMenu should fire everytime I click but this is not the case. I am able to hide one menu item on the onclick function
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_settings:
Log.v("Log:","edit_item pressed");
return true;
}
}
But I have multiple menu items that I need to hide and others that I want to show. how can I go about this?
