android-actionbar

I am trying out on the android action bar for 3.0, where I refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMu8XhxUBl8 The code in the TabsActivity are as follow: package com.test.actionbar; import android.app.ActionBar; import android.app.ActionBar.Tab; import android.app.Activity; import android.app.Fragment; import android.app.FragmentTransaction; import android.os.Bundle; public class TabsActivity extends Activity{ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); ActionBar bar = getActionBar(); bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

I'm building an app with MainActivity which extends FragmentActivity and has an ActionBar with three tabs. At each tab I would like to attach a ParentFragment which should control the swipe among internal pages. The result should be that pressing the tabs the user should change from the different instances of the ParentFragment and swiping he should change among the TextViewFragments inside each ParentFragment . Now I can perfectly switch among the three tabs, but the problem is that the ParentFragment is not correctly shown, it seems it's not even created because I can't even see the onCreate

The following code causes a back arrow to appear in the ActionBar: getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); I'm looking for the resource ID of the arrow drawable, i.e. android.R.drawable.xxx. The reason I need this ID is so that I can manually set an identical arrow (size & colour) elsewhere in my app. I tried making my own drawable and using that but the size was different from the one in the ActionBar. If you have the support library in your project, you can make a back button in any place in your applicaction like this:

I'm using ActionBarSherlock-4.1.0-0 and I would like to open my submenu in the Actionbar with the hardware menu button. I'm planing an update and in my old version I used the "normal" menu. I'd like to help users to get used to the new design. I got the submenu and the main-menu: @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater i = getSupportMenuInflater(); i.inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu); SubMenu subMenu = (SubMenu) menu.findItem(R.id.actionbar_submenu); Menu mainMenu = menu; return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } and i got a listner to the hardware menu button:

How I can remove Action Bar on specific activity not for all application, for example I have Sign Up activity and for this activity I want to remove Action Bar In your AndroidManifest.xml use NoActionBar theme for your Activity like this: <activity android:name=".SignUpActivity" android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"/> and in your styles.xml <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar"> <item name="windowActionBar">false</item> <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item> </style> from within your activity: getActionBar().hide(); or getSupportActionBar().hide(); I would suggest to migrate to ToolBar, new

I have this problem with the Android ActionBarCompat project: On emulators with Android 4.0 the click on the app icon doesn't cause any onOptionsItemSelected event, whereas it works on all other OS versions. Any input is greatly appreciated! Are you seeing any touch feedback from the app icon? (Does it glow when you press it?) Since many activities do not use the action bar home button, in apps that target API 14+ running on Android 4.0 it is disabled by default. (This is so that users don't try pressing it, see it glow, and wonder why nothing happened.) Apps that want to use this should call
