set actionbar icon height to match actionbar height

问题

see the problem here, the grey checkbox leaves room from the top and bottom of the action bar:

styles.xml

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="Theme.Base.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:actionButtonStyle">@style/ActionButtonStyle</item>
</style>

<!--<style name="ActionButtonStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionButton">-->
<style name="ActionButtonStyle" >
    <item name="android:height">@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height</item>
</style>

i set the item like so:

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.submit_action, menu);

submit_action looks like:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item android:id="@+id/action_submit"
        android:icon="@drawable/check"
        app:showAsAction="always"  />
</menu>

and finally, attached is the @drawable/check being used.

any idea how i can get the check to fill the actionbar?

回答1:

The reason your icon doesn't fill the ActionBar is due to how the ActionMenuItemView measures the icon.

The ActionMenuItemView invokes a maximum size of 32dp when it sets the bounds for your icon

So, it makes so difference how large your image is, the system will always resize it.

You should use a action layout for your MenuItem, a check mark icon with no background, and change the background color of the action layout parent as you see fit. Here's an example:

layout

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    style="?android:attr/actionButtonStyle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#e8e8e8"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:contentDescription="@string/cd" >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@null"
        android:scaleType="centerInside"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_action_tick" />

</RelativeLayout>

MenuItem

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_submit"
    android:actionLayout="@layout/your_action_layout"
    android:showAsAction="always"/>

Accessibility

It's important to make sure your MenuItem is accessible. Normally when you long press an item in the ActionBar a short Toast will display the content description for you, but when you're using a custom MenuItem it's up to you to implement this pattern. An easy way to do this is by using Roman Nurik's CheatSheet. If you're unsure how to use it, you should refer to my answer here that goes into much more detail on creating custom MenuItem layouts.

Alternatively

If you want to use that background color for every MenuItem you have, you could create a custom style and apply it using the android:actionButtonStyle attribute. Here's an example of that:

Your style

<style name="Your.ActionButton" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionButton">
    <item name="android:background">#e8e8e8</item>
</style>

Your theme

<style name="Your.Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:actionButtonStyle">@style/Your.ActionButton</item>
</style>

Here's what I do with Icons in Android to get the sizing correct. You have an existing project with the res/drawable- folders. You have to put the correct Icon into the correct folder.

Start a new project wizard and when you get to the launcher icon put in the Icon you want to use in your existing project. finish the wizard. The wizard will make the various sizes of Icons for you. Then I manually copy the Icons from the res/drawable-xdpi res/drawable-ldpi etc to the corresponding folder on my existing project. Delete the new project it is no longer needed.
