Different menu for different tabs in tab+swipe application for android project

Question

I am a beginner to android applications and java, basically I am a PHP developer.

I\'ve a project for a tab+swipe application,

Reseller.java

Answer 1

create a menu xml file for menu_a.xml and menu_b.xml in the res/menu folder.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/menu_item_search"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"
        android:title="@string/description_search"
        android:orderInCategory="1"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
    <item android:id="@+id/menu_item_share"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_share"
        android:title="@string/description_share"
        android:orderInCategory="1"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
</menu>

To create a option menu for the current Fragment displayed, add setHasOptionsMenu(true); to the Fragment onCreate() method.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setHasOptionsMenu(true);

}

Then you must inflate the corresponding option menu (menu_a.xml or menu_b.xml) by override the onCreateOptionsMenu() method.

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_a, menu);
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}

For handling menu selections override the onOptionsItemSelected()

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.menu_item_search:                
              //do something
            return true;

        case R.id.menu_item_share:
              //do something
            return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

Answer 2

Yes, I got the output with these codes ,

In TabOne.java and TabTwo.java I've added

   setHasOptionsMenu(true);

In onCreateView() function and after that menu function with different menu,removed menu function from main class.

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                    Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
            View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_a, container, false);
            setHasOptionsMenu(true);
            return view;
    }
    @Override
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        //super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
         inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_b, menu);
    }
