android-actionbar-compat

I'm trying to use ActionBarCompat on my own project. I've already opened the sample project (http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ActionBarCompat/index.html), But I don't know how to implement it on my own. I can't find any tutorial of some kind. Should I make this project as a library? Can someone give me some directions, please. As for implementation, just stick to the sample code provided under the MainActivity.java class. You can find it here or under <your local android-sdks folder>/samples/android-15/ActionBarCompat/src/com/example/android/actionbarcompat/MainActivity.java . In

EDIT : If I extend FragmentActivity instead of ActionBarActivity my layout shows up again (without an ActionBar of course). The ActionBar works as intended on 4.x devices, but on my 2.3 device all I get is the ActionBar and a blank screen below it. The Fragment doesn't seem to be getting added to the Activity . themes.xml <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.ActionBar</item> </style> themes-v11.xml <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.ActionBar</item> </style> styles.xml <style name=

I have a really strange problem. When I use ActionBarActivity after clicking on hardware menu button (device with Android 2.3) the app closes unexpectedly without any particular error. Logcat gives only: W/KeyCharacterMap﹕ No keyboard for id 0 W/KeyCharacterMap﹕ Using default keymap: /system/usr/keychars/qwerty.kcm.bin 30-30/? I/DEBUG﹕ *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** 03-19 15:54:48.612 30-30/?

I'm facing some problems with a SearchView in a Contextual Action Bar called by a Fragment. The major one is that when my SearchView is expanded, it makes disappear all other items in action bar (except the closing button) even if there's some unused space, like you can see in this screenshot: Screenshot Furthermore, I'm also having the same exact problem discussed in this question: ActionBar always expanded SearchView with the icon inside This is the XML code of my SearchView: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app=

I am having some troubles to show items in the ActionBar with AppCompat. This code works on a normal actionbar <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@+id/item1" android:showAsAction="always" android:title="Se connecter" android:visible="true"> </item> </menu> But with the AppCompat library the item isn't shown.. What should I do ? Thanks in advance :) showAsAction is not in the android xml namespace for API < 11 try something like the following: <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:yourapp="http://schemas.android

On my project until some days ago I used sherlock actionbar but I dicided to change the whole actionbar style to the new material design. On my old theme for the back and overflow icon I had some custom icons setted on my theme. But on the appcompat I tried define it on my theme where I use it on a toolbar but it's not working. Anyone knows how to make this possible? My theme where I use on the toolbar(Generated with asset studio): <style name="Theme.Themewiz" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar.Solid.Themewiz</item> <item
