Changing the Action bar icon

Question

I\'m currently implementing theme support for my application and a part of it is changing the action bar app icon. I want to use a dark icon when Holo Light is selected. Eve

Answer 1

The existing answer is very correct. There is, however, also an alternative. A minimal approach would be to use

getActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.my_icon);

Gets your job done right away. :)

Technical Details: Since getActionBar() by default returns an object, you can directly manipulate it without having to receive it in an in-scope object explicitly.
