Action Bar Title with more than one line?

Question

Is it possible to create the title in the Action Bar with more than one line? I need a double spaced title.

Answer 1

The default TextView on the ActionBar does not support line wrapping, and there is no exposed method to set it to wrap. So create a flexible layout, like this: action_bar_title_layout.xml:

Then set this as the custom layout on your ActionBar:

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.action_bar_title_layout);
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.action_bar_title)).setText(
    "This is a long text title that will wrap to multiple lines, when necessary.");
