only a few can be added to the actionbar. All others goes to the overflow menu... Press the three dots on the right...

 

[angel]

The 3 menu buttons do not appear

 

[Jeremy Tipton]

The 3 menu buttons do not appear

The menu items should appear as a list in the upper right corner with the text you provide when you click the three dots. The icons will never appear when you have so many menu options.

 

[Jeremy Tipton]

Below is an image of what my app does when the three dots are clicked. Android usually shows two icons on the toolbar.

 

[angel]

have many icons because if it is a mobile I see 2 icons and if it is a tablet I see 4 icons, they are sometimes visible and others are not visible, I have seen that they usually disappear when I pause the application and it also fails when I reinstall the application

 

[Erel]

Are you calling this sub from Activity_Create?

 

[angel]

Yes

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
     CrearMenusActivity
End Sub

 

[Erel]

Does your device have a physical menu button? In that case the three dots button will never appear.

 

[angel]

does not have a physical button, and if I close the application and reopen the buttons appear

 

[Erel]

Are you able to reproduce it in a small example?

 

[angel]

yes, one moment

 

[angel]

Hello

Solved, the problem was that when you closed the application or entered the background had "Activity.Finish", it has been changed to "ExitApplication" and it works fine.

Thank you all

 

[Erel]

it has been changed to "ExitApplication" and it works fine.

This is not the correct solution.

 

[angel]

'Change the background to Activity.Finish and close ExitAplication.It's correct ? where is the correct solution ?

Thanks

 

[Erel]

I don't know what is the problem as I haven't seen the complete code. However killing the process in order for the layout to be loaded correctly doesn't sound like the correct solution.

Hello Erel

The code...

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        StartActivity(Login)
        CrearMenusActivity
    End If   
End Sub


Private Sub CrearMenusActivity
    Activity.AddMenuItem3(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem2","Sincronizar"),"BSincro", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_sincronize.png"), True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem1","Crear operación"),"BCrear", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_add.png"), True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem10","Crear mensajes"),"BMensaje", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_new_message.png"), True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem3","Filtrar"),"BFiltrar", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_search.png"), True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem3(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem4","Ordenar"),"BOrdre", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_order.png"), True)
    Activity.AddMenuItem(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem5","Configuración"),"BConfig")
    Activity.AddMenuItem(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem7","Modo Sincro"),"BModoSincro")
    Activity.AddMenuItem(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem8","Cambio de usuario"),"BCambio")
    Activity.AddMenuItem(Codi.Lang("Main.MenuItem6","Cerrar sesión"),"BLogout")
    Activity.AddMenuItem(Codi.Lang("AcercaDe", "Acerca de ..."), "BAbout")
End Sub


Sub BLogout_Click
    CallSubDelayed(Me, "BLogout")
End Sub


Sub BLogout
    Dim opcio As Int

    opcio= Msgbox2(Codi.Lang("Logout.logout","¿Desea cerrar la sesión?"),Codi.Lang("Main.MsgBoxTitleAviso", "Aviso"),Codi.Lang("Si", "Si"),Codi.Lang("No", "No"),"", Null)
    If opcio=DialogResponse.POSITIVE Then
        'Activity.Finish
        ExitApplication
    Else
        
        End If
    End If
    
End Sub

When the user close the app if code is Activit.Finish when restart the icons not apper, change for ExitApplication and work

 

[Erel]

Your code is wrong.
