I was following this article. Unfortunatelly, badge isn't drawn. Of course I changed invalidateOptionsMenu method to supportInvalidateOptionsMenu method.
I was checking the log, step by step and found out that draw method in custom Drawable named BadgeDrawable is never called. Why is that?
I'm trying to use it in AppCompatActivity using Support Design Library version 23.0.1
I saw this answer but it seems to be out of date.
Is there anyone who managed to implement badger counter for MenuItem icon inside android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar?
If the way shown in the article is wrong then could you suggest other way to achieve the result as in example below?:
Here is a setup inside my application:
LayerDrawable XML ic_filter_notifications.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="@+id/ic_filter_notification"
android:drawable="@drawable/ic_filter_grey600_18dp"
android:gravity="center"/>
<!-- set a place holder Drawable so android:drawable isn't null -->
<item android:id="@+id/ic_filter_badge"
android:drawable="@drawable/ic_filter_grey600_18dp">
</item>
</layer-list>
Menu that I use in the Toolbar menu_activity_main.xml:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:cobytu="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_settings"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="@string/menu_settings"
cobytu:showAsAction="never"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_logout"
android:orderInCategory="1000000"
android:title="@string/menu_logout"
cobytu:showAsAction="never"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/action_filter"
android:title="@string/filters"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_filter_notifications"
cobytu:showAsAction="always"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/action_location"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_map_marker_radius_grey600_18dp"
android:title="@string/location"
cobytu:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
This is function sets the count int for new BadgeDrawable inside UsefulFunctions class - UsefulFunctions.java:
public class UsefulFunctions {
private Context ctx;
public UsefulFunctions(Context context){
ctx = context;
}
public static void setBadgeCount(Context context, LayerDrawable icon,
int count) {
BadgeDrawable badge;
// Reuse drawable if possible
Drawable reuse = icon.findDrawableByLayerId(R.id.ic_filter_badge);
if (reuse != null && reuse instanceof BadgeDrawable) {
badge = (BadgeDrawable) reuse;
} else {
Log.d("mTAG", UsefulFunctions.class.getName()
+ " I'm creating new BadgeDrawable!");
badge = new BadgeDrawable(context);
}
badge.setCount(count);
icon.mutate();
Log.d("mTAG",
UsefulFunctions.class.getName() + " badge: " + badge.toString()
+ " count: " + count);
icon.setDrawableByLayerId(R.id.ic_filter_badge, badge);
}
}
This is the important scrap of my MainActivity where I invoke BadgeDrawable creation. I also show what's inside onCreate and in onOptionsItemSelected, may be needed - MainActivity.java:
