Setting Action Bar title and subtitle

Question

I want to set title and subtitile of my action bar before compile time. I got a way to do it like this:

ActionBar ab = getActionBar();
ab.setTitle(\"My Title         


        

Answer 1

Nope! You have to do it at runtime.

If you want to make your app backwards compatible, then simply check the device API level. If it is higher than 11, then you can fiddle with the ActionBar and set the subtitle.

if(Integer.valueOf(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK) >= 11){
    //set actionbar title
}
