The “standard” behaviour for an android activity is, that a new instance of the activity is created, every time there is a new intent for this activity (see launchMode-docu here). Because of this your extras seem to be gone, if you call navigateUpTo. In your case, I would advise to use android:launchMode=”singleTop” for your parent … Read more
There are 2 things I’d try: Remove the setTheme from onCreate, it is redundant with the manifest and may lead to confusion Set the theme at Application instead of Activity level in the manifest
Please don’t do that as it’s implementation specific and extremely non-standard. You can use the onDestroyActionMode callback for when an action mode is dismissed.
In the onCreate() enable the home button. @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { … getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true); } In the onOptionItemSelected() method do this. @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch (item.getItemId()) { // Respond to the action bar’s Up/Home button case android.R.id.home: NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this); return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } This should enable Up navigation. If … Read more
Just add these two lines to the theme: <item name=”actionModeBackground”>@color/theme_primary_dark</item> <item name=”actionBarPopupTheme”>@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light</item>
Use height attribute, actionBarSize if for something else. <item name=”android:height”>@dimen/bar_height</item> Explanantion: From source code of ActionBar: mContentHeight = a.getLayoutDimension(R.styleable.ActionBar_height, 0); We can see that R.styleable.ActionBar_height is being used for height. Stylable property names are generated as component_attribute (If you have ever used a custom stylable view, you’d have notice this). Hence, Actionbar is the name … Read more
I found a solution that worked for me. Usually the onClick attribute in a layout has the following method public void methodname(View view) { // actions } On a menu item (in this case Sherlock menu) it should follow the following signature: public boolean methodname(MenuItem item) { // actions } So, your problem was that … Read more
I have created a library, ActionBarSherlock, which is extended from the Android Compatibility Library to implement support for the native action bar all the way back to Android 1.6. The key feature of this library is that it mimics the native action bar of Android 3.0+ and allows you to interact with it and theme … Read more
You can use MenuItemCompat.getActionView(MenuItem menuItem) from the support library to get the action view on pre 11 API.
I will stick with my comment on Paul’s answer: The idea is to have a Stack of the last Parent Activities traversed. Example: public static Stack<Class<?>> parents = new Stack<Class<?>>(); Now in all your parent activities (the activities that are considered parents -e.g. in your case: List and Home), you add this to their onCreate: … Read more
