android-actionbar-compat

So I was using the ActionBarSherlock and decided to switch to the new ActionBarCompat. With ABS, hiding the ActionBar was possible using the way described in this post: How to hide action bar before activity is created, and then show it again? But, with the ActionBarCompat the app crashes on API14, because when you set android:windowActionBar as false the getSupportActionBar() method returns null, even if you have declared the getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); into the onCreate() method. Funny thing is that if you call getActionBar() instead, you get the object and

I made an application which use the ActionBarCompat I created the tabs using the SlidingTabLayout class. the class is this: SlidingTabLayout.java but I can not change the color of the tabs... my viewpager fragment is this: <swmovil.fyb.SlidingTabLayout android:id="@+id/mTabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="48dip" /> <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="@+id/mPager" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0px" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@color/white" /> the application works great, but i can´t change the color text of

I have a relatively simple Android app with one Activity showing a list of items and another showing details of a selected item. I start the list activity, which is my topmost activity (using FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP to clear the login activity from which this is called) with: Intent intent = new Intent(this, ListInstancesActivity.class); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); startActivity(intent); finish(); and from within that activity I act on an item being selected with: Intent detailIntent = new Intent(this, ShowInstanceActivity.class); detailIntent.putExtra(ShowInstanceFragment

I am trying to convert my app to use the v21 AppCompat library, so I started to use Toolbar instead of ActionBar. In all my regular activities (which extend ActionBarActivity) everything is fine. but in my SettingsActivity which extends PreferenceActivity, and therefore I can't use the setSupportActionBar(actionbar) call I need to use a "standalone" toolbar. The toolbar shows up, but I can't figure out how could I add the "home / up" button to the toolbar. SettingsActivity.java: public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle

I added android-support-v7-appcompat. Next I clicked on each file in directory \libs. Then I clicked android-support-v7-appcompat and opened properties. Next checked files from directory libs and unchecked Android Dependencies. Next opened properties of myproject. Went to the projects and by Add button added android-support-v7-appcompat. But nothing is working. How can I make ActionBarActivity(there is no new variants) and how can I add a theme. I used to add in manifest to activity, tried to add it to the style.xml I solved my problem. It was hard to me to find add Library button. I acted in
