The library binds the onclick event to Activity.onOptionsItemSelected. This results in only the Activity onOptionsItemSelected is called, the Fragments are not.

This event should be dispatched to the Activity.onMenuItemSelected method which properly calls onOptionsItemSelected on both the Activity and its Fragments.

Here is my menu_item.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=".MainActivity">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_notification"
        android:orderInCategory="300"
        android:title="User"
        app:actionLayout="@layout/menu_action_item_badge"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_notifications_black_24dp"
        app:showAsAction="always">
    </item>

</menu>

Inside MainActivity.java

MenuItem item= menu.findItem(R.id.action_notification);
            ActionItemBadge.update(item,1);

I am calling this inside this segment:

private BroadcastReceiver fcmReciever = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            //Badger badge= Badger.getInstance();

            Toast.makeText(context,menu.findItem(R.id.action_notification).getTitle().toString(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            //menu.findItem(R.id.action_notification).setIcon(R.drawable.camera);

            MenuItem item= menu.findItem(R.id.action_notification);
            ActionItemBadge.update(item,1);
            //MainActivity.this.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
            //new ActionItemBadgeAdder().act(((Activity) context)).menu(menu).
            //Toast.makeText(context,"recieved",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    };

Here is the screenshot:

Good day. Thx for library. I have 3 question.

Why I can't use this library without com.mikepenz:iconics?

Can you create BadgeStyle with circle?

Method 'hide' hide my item too. How can I hide only badge?

Hi,
Thanks for the awesome library. How can I remove only badge on runtime but not hiding entire menu item in fragment.

Thanking you in advance for your time

It seems from readme, and when I tried out that I can just update to a given badge or hide the icon in menu completely - is there a way to show the normal icon without a badge?

thanks

The badge doesnt populate when receiving the ListView item from firebase console. It works only when it come in the foreground, It doesnt update when we fire a new ListView item or the app is in Background or Killed?

Hello,

seems like your pom.xml is missing something to make this library work with maven-android-plugin

specifically, you should change your dependency inside your pom.xml to be:

 <dependency>
      <groupId>com.mikepenz.iconics</groupId>
      <artifactId>library</artifactId>
      <type>aar</type>
      <version>0.7.0</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

(i just added the "type" part) Thanks

I used the latest Android studio to try it, but get the following error,

added 2 dependencies

compile 'com.joanzapata.android:android-iconify:1.0.8' compile 'com.mikepenz.actionitembadge:library:2.0.0@aar'

Error:(48, 28) error: cannot access IIcon class file for com.mikpenz.iconics.typeface.IIcon not found

Hello my Appbar Icon Disappears after i update it!

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.app_bar_main, menu);

        int badgeCount =5;

        if (badgeCount > 0) {
            ActionItemBadge.update(this, menu.findItem(R.id.notify_me), (Drawable) Iconics.findFont(this,"Fontawesome"), ActionItemBadge.BadgeStyles.RED, badgeCount);
        } else {
            ActionItemBadge.hide(menu.findItem(R.id.notify_me));
        }
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

Version 3.2.3, Android 6 (Genymotion)

java.lang.ClassCastException: android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable cannot be cast to android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable
                                                                       at com.mikepenz.actionitembadge.library.utils.BadgeDrawableBuilder.build(BadgeDrawableBuilder.java:39)

in my menu xml i placed this..

<item android:id="@+id/action_carticon" android:title="@string/action_example"
        app:showAsAction="always"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:actionLayout="@layout/menu_badge"
        />

and in my create options menu i used this

ActionItemBadge.update(this, menu.findItem(R.id.action_carticon), getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher), ActionItemBadge.BadgeStyle.GREEN,5);

what i done wrong if i create menu item programatically works great.if the count is zero need to hide the item badge.is there any possible.
