how to findViewById for an icon in menu in adapter class

Question

I just created menu like this as a Bottom Bar

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/bb_menu_recents"
        android:icon="@drawable/floor"
        android:title="Floor 1" />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/floorNumber"
        android:icon="@drawable/floor"
        android:title="Floor 2" />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/bb_menu_nearby"
        android:icon="@drawable/floor"
        android:title="Others" />
</menu>

and created also an getter and setter class,I have also created An adapter with an holder and this is my adapter class

package abtech.waiteriano.com.waitrer.adapters;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import abtech.waiteriano.com.waitrer.R;
import abtech.waiteriano.com.waitrer.getters_and_setters.BottomBarItem;

/**

public class CustomBottomBarAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<BottomBarItem> {
    Context context;
    int layoutResourceId;
    ArrayList<BottomBarItem> data = new ArrayList<BottomBarItem>();

    public CustomBottomBarAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId, ArrayList<BottomBarItem>data) {
        super(context, layoutResourceId,data);
        this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
        this.context = context;
        this.data = data;
    }

        @NonNull
        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View row = convertView;
            floorRecordHolder floorHolder = null;

            if (row == null){
                LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();
                row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);

                floorHolder = new floorRecordHolder();
                floorHolder.floorNo = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.floorNumber);

            }else {
                floorHolder = (CustomBottomBarAdapter.floorRecordHolder) row.getTag();
            }
            BottomBarItem bottomBarItem = data.get(position);
            floorHolder.floorNo.setText(bottomBarItem.getFloorNo());
            return row;
        }

        static class floorRecordHolder{
            TextView floorNo;
            ImageView floorImage;
        }
    }

This is Activity Code

I just want to set icon in the menu like I set text which is also in the menu like this

        mBottomBar.setItems(R.menu.bottombar_menu);
        customBottomBarAdapter = new CustomBottomBarAdapter(this,R.menu.bottombar_menu,bottomBarArray);


        viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);

        /**
         * Initializing the viewpager with fragments
         */
        ViewPagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());


        adapter.addFragment(new TablesFragment(), "Progress");
        adapter.addFragment(MyFragment.newInstance("Example1"), "Example1");
        adapter.addFragment(MyFragment.newInstance("Example2"), "Example2");
        adapter.addFragment(MyFragment.newInstance("Example3"), "Example3");

        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

        tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);

        //adding viewpager to the tablayout
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
        tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);
    }
    class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

        private final List<String> mFragmentTitleList = new ArrayList<>();

        public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager) {
            super(manager);
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            return mFragmentList.get(position);
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return mFragmentList.size();
        }

        public void addFragment(Fragment fragment, String title) {
            mFragmentList.add(fragment);
            mFragmentTitleList.add(title);
        }

        @Override
        public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
            return mFragmentTitleList.get(position);
        }
    }
}

    floorHolder.floorNo = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.floorNumber);

but for an icon not for textview if any thing unclear please just notify me sorry for bad english

Answer 1

I just want to set icon in the menu like I set text

Where exactly are you setting the Text? This adapter isn't being used...

customBottomBarAdapter = new CustomBottomBarAdapter(this,R.menu.bottombar_menu,bottomBarArray);

You actually are setting the text with this...

mBottomBar.setItems(R.menu.bottombar_menu);

Basically, R.menu resources aren't to be loaded into a ArrayAdapter, generally, only R.layout values are.

In your activity, you would need something like this

mBottomBar = BottomBar.attach(this, savedInstanceState);
mBottomBar.setItems(R.menu.bottombar_menu);
BottomBarTab tab = mBottomBar.getTabWithId(R.id.floorNumber);
mBottomBar.setIconResId(R.drawable.new_img); // This method doesn't work, though

As I commented, that wouldn't work because that method isn't public (and actually doesn't update the icon at all).

There is an open issue for it.

Overall, you seem to have a TabLayout for the "horizontal" views, so I would use that instead of it and a BottomBar.

You actually can very easily set the icons of a TabLayout.

OR use the actual Android Support BottomNavigationView, which again, has the ability to change the icons.
