How to access menu items from ActionBar?

[Eugene Beletskiy]

Hello, 

Does anybody know how to access menu items located in ActionBar (Honeycomb, ICS) if menu items are a composition of items which belong to Fragments. My Activity doesn't have Menu, but Fragments of which this Activity consists of do have. The solo.pressMenuItem(int x) just doesn't work for me because it searches for the Menu of current Activity which is empty.

Thank a lot.

Hey, I've found the solution, may be would be helpful for someone else. Not using Robotium, but Android Instrumentation. So, in order to 'click' on the needed item you should use:

getInstrumentation().invokeMenuActionSync(mActivity, R.id.menu_item_id, 0);

Would it be possible for you to send me an application that exhibits the issues that you are experiencing?

It sure does, but they don't work reliably, if at all.

Robotium 4.0
Android OS 2.3.3
ABS - latest version as of this writing.

Robotium has methods to work with ActionBar, they are : solo.clickOnActionBarItem(), and solo.clickOnActionBarHomeButton()

For my current project which makes use of ActionBar to introduce Back Key and Certain Icons as Image Buttons used following codes : 

// Selecting Back function button on Action Bar

ActionBarView actionBar= (ActionBarView)solo.getView(<appPakcageName>.R.id.abs__action_bar);

ImageView backUpKey = (ImageView)actionBar.findViewById(<appPakcageName>.R.id.abs__home);

solo.clickOnView(backUpKey);

// Click on Tools Icon[which is the 3rd Image Button] on Action Bar Menu

solo.clickOnImageButton(2);

Hope this helps!

hello all，

 

    I want to get some information from outside of the testcases dynamically,for example, some apks from different channels,only channel id is different,others the same.

 

    my steps are:

    1. install one apk with channel A(all the apks under one folder).

    2. run testcases of apk A.

    3. record some information,like screenshot,testresult ... in channelA directory under sd card.

        the directory like：

            directory A：

                testcase1：screenshot，testresult。

                testcase2：screenshot，testresult。

                ......

            directory B:

                testcase1：screenshot，testresult。

                testcase2：screenshot，testresult。

                ......

            ......         

    4. uninstall application.      

    5. repeat 1,2,3,4 steps with the others' apk.

 

btw, the apks is packaging dynamically,so the order of them not sure.

 

I want to run the same testcases and record the test result of every apk to ensure all the apks work well.So i want to get the channel info in my testcase from out of code.How to catch it?

 

    Anyone can help me?

Hi, how do you click the home button for ActionBarSherlock on pre ICS?

I have tried solo.onClickView(solo.getView(android.R.id.home)), and also the solo action bar related methods, none of them work.

An API is different there. 

Also this can depend on the manufacturer.

Hi Thomas,

 

Thanks for your great solution - this is definitely working! Only one small issue: I noticed that the method failed on a Galaxy Tab 7'' (Android 2.2). This can be fixed by calling solo.clickOnMenuItem(...) at the end of the method.

 

Cheers!

André

With ABS the following works:

import com.actionbarsherlock.internal.view.menu.MenuView;

          ... 

public void clickOnActionBarItem(int resourceId) {

        List<View> views = solo.getCurrentViews();

        for (View v : views) {

            if (v instanceof MenuView.ItemView) {

                MenuView.ItemView itemView = (MenuView.ItemView) v;

                if (itemView.getItemData().getItemId() != resourceId) {

                    continue;

                }

                solo.clickOnView(v);

                return;

            }

        }

    } 

However, I did not get solo.clickOnActionBarItem(int) to work on the native action bar. It seems to simply ignore this completely.

Hello, 

[Tobias Knell]

I recently built in the  android support libraries into some projects and I'm experiencing the same issue now: none of these methods seem to work. Before using the support library, so using the normal ActionBar, everything worked fine, so I'm definitely using the right IDs. 

The ActionBar (or Toolbar) items are now no longer pressed when using clickOnActionBarItem()  and using clickOnMenuItem() only works for the items that are in the overflow, but not for the ones that are directly shown in the ActionBar. 

Is there any method to make this work?

Hi Tobias,

Please create a ticket for this.

Was this issue 639 which has been closed because the support library is not supported?

I would definitely be interested in the support library (appcompat) being supported, if not maybe there's somewhere central we can collate workarounds?

I've got it clicking on menu items by doing sendKey(Solo.MENU) then getText() then clickOnView(). It works but is a bit slow and I'd hope there's a nicer way?

My current problem is how to tell if a menu item with a checkbox is checked or not. I've hacked it together by finding the view as above then rooting around the view heirachy to find the checkbox view. It's not pretty but I'd be happy to share and see if anyone can improve on it.


Thanks
Neil

Does clickOnMenuItem(String text) work? Otherwise you could try solo.sendKey(Solo.MENU) then clickOnText() or clickInList(). 

As for the checkbox. Have you tried to open the menu and then use isCheckboxChecked()?
