[FIXED] Add menu icons from fragement into host actvity toolbar - Navigation component

Issue

Iam using single activity navigation component structure. In host activity iam using navigation drawer and bottom navigation.

So There are 2 frgaments inside bottom navigation Fragment A and Fragment B. I need to add menu icons (search icon) for Fragment A and (chat icon) for Fragment B.

So how i can add these icons on Host Activity toolbar from fragment ?

HostActivity

    private fun setupViews()
{
    drawerLayout = binding.drawerLayout

    // Finding the Navigation Controller
    navController = findNavController(R.id.hostFragmentLanding)

    // Setting Navigation Controller with the BottomNavigationView
    binding.bottomNavView.setupWithNavController(navController)

    appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(topLevelDestinationIds = TOP_LEVEL_DESTINATIONS, drawerLayout)
    // Set up ActionBar
    setSupportActionBar(binding.toolBar)
    setupActionBarWithNavController(navController, appBarConfiguration)
    binding.navigationView.setupWithNavController(navController)

}

override fun onSupportNavigateUp(): Boolean {
    return navController.navigateUp(appBarConfiguration) || super.onSupportNavigateUp()
}

override fun onBackPressed() {
    if (drawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START)
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed()
    }
}

I want to add menu (search)icon from Fragment A to the Hostactivity Toolbar

Solution

I have added menu icons directlty from the fragment class

Fragment A

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    setHasOptionsMenu(true)

}

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu, inflater: MenuInflater) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater)
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_home_fragment, menu)
    menu.findItem(R.id.search).isVisible = false
    menu.findItem(R.id.qrScan).isVisible = false
    menu.findItem(R.id.notification).isVisible = true
}

override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
    if (item.itemId == R.id.search) {
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
}

So the menu items has been added to the Host Activities Toolbar automatically
