CloseOptionsMenu doesn't work?

Question

I only want to display the optionsMenu in a particular tab using the following code.

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {

    /**
     * The {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide fragments for each of the
     * three primary sections of the app. We use a {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter}
     * derivative, which will keep every loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory
     * intensive, it may be best to switch to a {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
     */
    AppSectionsPagerAdapter mAppSectionsPagerAdapter;

    /**
     * The {@link ViewPager} that will display the three primary sections of the app, one at a
     * time.
     */
    ViewPager mViewPager;
    private int currentPage = 0;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//      this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three primary sections
        // of the app.
        mAppSectionsPagerAdapter = new AppSectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

        // Set up the action bar.
        final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();

        // Specify that the Home/Up button should not be enabled, since there is no hierarchical
        // parent.
        actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
        actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

        closeOptionsMenu();

        // Specify that we will be displaying tabs in the action bar.
        actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

        // Set up the ViewPager, attaching the adapter and setting up a listener for when the
        // user swipes between sections.

                // Tab.

                currentPage = position;
                if (position == 2) {
                    openOptionsMenu();

                else
                    closeOptionsMenu();

        });

        // For each of the sections in the app, add a tab to the action bar.

    }

    @Override

                Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_section_dummy, container, false);
            Bundle args = getArguments();
            ((TextView) rootView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1)).setText(
                    getString(R.string.dummy_section_text, args.getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
            return rootView;
        }
    }
}

But it doesn't work. The optionsMenu are still there no matter which fragment is activated. (The currentPage in the code is always changed when switching tabs.)

Answer 1

The way you want to have an options menu in a particular tab fragment is not creating the options menu in the activity then hide/show it.

Instead of calling onCreateOptionsMenu() inside the Activity, call onCreateOptionsMenu() inside a fragment:

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

and don't forget to add this

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

to the fragment.

Answer 2

If I got your question right.Each of your fragment should have enabled setHasOptionsMenu(true), if you want to have unique or action items at all per each.
