[ACCEPTED]-Add Context Menu Icon in android-android-context

Context menus do not support icons.

Note: Context menu 2 items do not support icons or shortcut 1 keys.

I did it by this way:

Menu:

menu_patient_language.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".activities.PatientSelectionActivity">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/menuEnglish"
        android:icon="@drawable/language_english"
        android:title="@string/english" />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/menuFrench"
        android:icon="@drawable/language_french"
        android:title="@string/french" />

</menu>

Style:

style.xml:

  <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->

        <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/popupMenuStyle</item>

    </style>

  <!--- Language selection popup -->

    <style name="popupMenuStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="android:itemBackground">@android:color/white</item>
    </style>

Java code:

 private void showPopup(View v) {

        Context wrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.popupMenuStyle);
        PopupMenu mypopupmenu = new PopupMenu(wrapper, v);

        setForceShowIcon(mypopupmenu);
        MenuInflater inflater = mypopupmenu.getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_patient_language, mypopupmenu.getMenu());
        mypopupmenu.show();
//        mypopupmenu.getMenu().getItem(0).setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(R.mipmap.ic_launcher));
        mypopupmenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
                txtPreferredLanguage.setText(item.getTitle().toString());
                switch (item.getItemId()) {
                    case R.id.menuEnglish:
                        // Your code goes here
                        break;

                    case R.id.menuFrench:
                        // Your code goes here
                        break;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });
    }

    private void setForceShowIcon(PopupMenu popupMenu) {
        try {
            Field[] mFields = popupMenu.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
            for (Field field : mFields) {
                if ("mPopup".equals(field.getName())) {
                    field.setAccessible(true);
                    Object menuPopupHelper = field.get(popupMenu);
                    Class<?> popupHelper = Class.forName(menuPopupHelper.getClass().getName());
                    Method mMethods = popupHelper.getMethod("setForceShowIcon", boolean.class);
                    mMethods.invoke(menuPopupHelper, true);
                    break;
                }
            }
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Hope this would help 1 you sure.

Done

This library allows you to have a context 2 menu (implemented as AlertDialog) with icons using 1 a standard XML menu.

https://code.google.com/p/android-icon-context-menu/

While the Android API does not allow for 11 Icons in Context menus you can see many 10 places where Android is using them. Long 9 pressing your home screen is one good example.

I 8 took the time to dig through the Launcher 7 and AnyCut source and found that Google 6 is using their own custom class that extends 5 a BaseAdapter along with their own custom 4 layout.

I was able to copy their class and 3 layout almost exactly and use it in my own 2 app to accomplish. The class if you want 1 to search for it is called AddAdapter.java.

Enjoy!

While the API doesn't support icons in Context 4 Menu, but we can always fake it by inflating 3 a Dialog with our own view that looks like 2 context menu.

Copy-pasting the following 1 files exactly will do the job:

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

List<ContextMenuItem> contextMenuItems;
Dialog customDialog;

LayoutInflater inflater;
View child;
ListView listView;
ContextMenuAdapter adapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    inflater = (LayoutInflater) this
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    child = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_context_menu, null);
    listView = (ListView) child.findViewById(R.id.listView_context_menu);

    contextMenuItems = new ArrayList<ContextMenuItem>();
    contextMenuItems.add(new ContextMenuItem(getResources().getDrawable(
            R.drawable.ic_launcher), "Facebook"));
    contextMenuItems.add(new ContextMenuItem(getResources().getDrawable(
            R.drawable.ic_launcher), "Scanner"));

    adapter = new ContextMenuAdapter(this,
            contextMenuItems);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

            listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v,
                int position, long id) {
            customDialog.dismiss();
            if (position == 0)
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "00", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();

            if (position == 1)
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "11", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();

        }
    });

    customDialog = new Dialog(this);
    customDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    customDialog.setContentView(child);
    customDialog.show();
    }

}

ContextMenuItem.java

public class ContextMenuItem {

public ContextMenuItem(Drawable drawable, String text) {
    super();

        viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.context_menu_item, parent,
                false);
        viewHolder.imageView = (ImageView) convertView
                .findViewById(R.id.imageView_menu);
        viewHolder.textView = (TextView) convertView
                .findViewById(R.id.textView_menu);
        convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
    } else {
        viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
    }

    viewHolder.imageView.setImageDrawable(listContextMenuItems
            .get(position).getDrawable());
    viewHolder.textView.setText(listContextMenuItems.get(position)
            .getText());
    return convertView;

}

@Override

    return listContextMenuItems.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return null;
}

@Override

    return 0;
}
