Option #1: Try invalidateOptionsMenu(). I don’t know if this will force an immediate redraw of the action bar or not. Option #2: See if getActionView() returns anything for the affected MenuItem. It is possible that showAsAction simply automatically creates action views for you. If so, you can presumably enable/disable that View. I can’t seem to … Read more
There is a trick for this. All you have to do is to use RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout as the main container. It’s important to have android:layout_gravity=”fill_horizontal” set for it. That should do it.
Looks like this is caused by the latest changes to the ActionBar in the recent appcompat-v7 update. It seems like that there are significant changes to how you should handle action bars. I faced the same issue and after reading the ActionBar documentation, and especially the following quote I found a solution. Beginning with Android … Read more
I’m developing an app that needs to look similar in all devices with >= API14 when it comes to actionbar and statusbar customization. I’ve finally found a solution and since it took a bit of my time I’ll share it to save some of yours. We start by using an appcompat-21 dependency. Transparent Actionbar: values/styles.xml: … Read more
First, you should know now the android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle is deprecated. You must replace that with android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle. Here is my example and I use the new Toolbar to replace the ActionBar. MainActivity.java public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Toolbar mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(mToolbar); DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout); … Read more
again this is all in the link you supplied to change the text to white all you have to do is change the theme. use this theme <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” xmlns:app=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto” android:id=”@+id/activity_my_toolbar” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:minHeight=”?attr/actionBarSize” android:background=”?attr/colorPrimary” app:theme=”@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar” app:popupTheme=”@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light”/>
If you are extending ActionBarActivity in your MainActivity, you will have to change the parent theme in values-v11 also. So the style.xml in values-v11 will be – <!– res/values-v11/themes.xml –> <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <resources> <style name=”QueryTheme” parent=”@style/Theme.AppCompat”> <!– Any customizations for your app running on devices with Theme.Holo here –> </style> </resources> EDIT: I would … Read more
What you’re doing is correct. Fragments don’t have access to the ActionBar APIs, so you have to call getActivity. Unless your Fragment is a static inner class, in which case you should create a WeakReference to the parent and call Activity.getActionBar from there. To set the title for your ActionBar, while using a custom layout, … Read more
I also meet this problem, and I have no choice but give up “oncloselistener”. Instead, you can get your menuItem, then setOnActionExpandListener. Then override unimplents methods. @Override public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.d(“*******”,”onMenuItemActionExpand”); return true; } @Override public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) { //do what you want to when close the … Read more
To have a centered title in ABS (if you want to have this in the default ActionBar, just remove the “support” in the method names), you could just do this: In your Activity, in your onCreate() method: getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM); getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.abs_layout); abs_layout: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_gravity=”center” android:orientation=”vertical”> <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView android:id=”@+id/tvTitle” style=”@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:gravity=”center” … Read more
