android-actionbar

I want to create an ActionBar and a tabbed navigation like the google+ app. I used this example as a starting point and now I have a great actionbar: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ActionBarCompat/index.html I've also included a ViewPager and a TabHost to have tabs and scrolling left/right Fragments. What i need is to show the back arrow in version prior to honeycomb. If I set getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) , the arrow is automatically show in version >= honeycomb. How can I do that in version prior to honey? What I also want to have is Tabs like the google+ app

Is it possible to remove/restore the tab bar from the action bar dynamically? Up to now I did this by changing the navigation mode of the action bar. I used following code to remove and restore the tab bar: @Override public void restoreTabs() { getSupportActionBar() .setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); this.supportInvalidateOptionsMenu(); } @Override public void removeTabs() { getSupportActionBar() .setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD); this.supportInvalidateOptionsMenu(); } That works, but there is a big problem: Everytime I call setNavigationMode ,

I have an actionBar with multiple items, I would like to change the colour of the text when the item is clicked. Is there anyway to do this programmatically? Please provide and example or any resources. Thanks public void catalogClick(MenuItem item){ //highlight menuitem etc. } Follow this link which explains how to change menuitem text programmatically. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html#Style Check for android:actionMenuTextColor for defining a style resource for text. Firewall_Sudhan To change without defining a style resource, we can use SpannableString. @Override

I have the following fragment in my application: public class MyFragment extends SherlockListFragment implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> { private MenuItem refresh = null; @Override public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState); setHasOptionsMenu(true); //..... // NPE here refresh.setActionView(R.layout.indeterminate_progress_action); getActivity().getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this); } @Override public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) { inflater.inflate(R.menu.refresh_menu, menu);

i`m trying to show indeterminate progress bar in ABS v. 4.0.2 by following code @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS); setContentView(R.layout.main); getSherlock().setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true); } on ICS virtual device it works fine, but progress do not shows in device with Android 2.1. what i`m doing wrong? Make sure you import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Window , not android.view.Window . Try setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(boolean) to get backward
