I'm using Appcelerator's Titanium Alloy to work on an app that features both a tab-group on the bottom of the screen and a toolbar on the top of the screen. These both will appear after login, and won't change until logged out. I have been able to create both the tab-group and the toolbar, but am having trouble having them both on the screen.
The toolbar that I'm going for is something similar to this:
How to create a header bar with buttons in Titanium JS?
Just a guess, but I think the views of the tab-group and the toolbar are getting overlapped with one another. As such, I'm only able to see one at a time, always the one I set second (i.e. it is on top of the other bar).
Any help/ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Edit:
I've looked into adjusting the leftNavButton and rightNavButton properties, but to use this method would require each individual tab to be adjusted, instead of the entire tab group. I'd like to find a way to add these buttons universally, as the top and bottom bars do not change with different views.
You can use the rightNavButtons and leftNavButtons properties of the windows to add buttons to the navigationBar that is showing at the top of the screen in a tabgroup.

Could someone please provide an example of how to create a bar with buttons at the bottom within CoordinatorLayout? My app consists of AppBar (top) that contains buttons invoking application-wide action. However, I'd like to have a view specific buttons placed at the bottom.
I'm not sure if this UI design is still supported/recommended when using the new Disign Library and AppCompat.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm not sure a ViewPager is the way to go, but it might.
My goal is to create an App with 3 screens.
A main screen and 2 other screens the are reachable by swiping left and right from the main screen.
i would like to have the screens as Fragments.
I have used a ViewPager, but I would like to get rid of the TabBar, and just stay with the swipe.
I managed to get rid of the Tabs, but the bar remains empty. I want it to be hidden.
Is that possible?
Is there a better way to do it ?
If this question was already answered, I have failed to find it and will appreciate redirection as well.
Thanks a lot,
Giora.
In your AnsroidStudio layout screen, go to the "Design" tab. Click on the theme option and select a theme with "NoActionBar.FullScreen" AFAIK ViewPager does not have any TabBar by default.
I have a project where the designs require a sliding drawer that comes from the bottom and has essentially three states.
fully collapsed (just the handle at the bottom
half mast (drawer opens from bottom but only halfway up the screen
full mast (drawer opens from bottom and takes up the whole screen minus a top margin of lets say 80dp
I am developing for android 4.0 and higher and obviously sliding drawer is deprecated. But the Navigation drawer only supports left and right (which i already have in use)
So i am wondering if anyone knows a tutorial or even a custom component someone has written that meets the above functionality requirements
In my experience, you probably have to create something yourself, but since you're developing for api lvl 14, check out ObjectAnimator. It allows you to move Views around and still use them (by that I mean that it's the original view that has been moved and not a copy of it)
This will probably be the easiest way.
FYI, using the Navigation Drawer, you can't open the drawer halfway, or you should programmatically invoke touch events...
I think this is what you are looking for.
I have found this library best so far for sliding up menus in Android.
https://github.com/umano/AndroidSlidingUpPanel
You can specify what screen area slide up menu or view will use.
Accept & vote up my answer if it is what you are looking for.
I'm using the slide menu library and setting the menu offset from a xml.
setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.slidingmenu_offset);
when I click the menu item I use
menu.toggle(true);
which moves the content to left with menu behind it. My scenario is when I click the menu item, the content has to move all the way to right and then should bring the content in like the normal way so that the user dont get to see the UI change. I used
setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.slidingmenu_fullscreen);
showMenu(true);
where R.dimen.slidingmenu_fullscreen = 0dp. The menu goes to full screen behind the content, but the content doesn't moves to the right. Thanks in advance!
Edit 1: This is similar to Xoom application... Sample "Slide Sample"
I would recommend using ActionBarSherlock. Use this tutorial for sliding menu, It is much easier to use, and you will find much more help with it. It is also more compatible with different screen sizes, and more Android versions.
Finally I figured it myself.
menu.mViewAbove.scrollTo(menu.mViewAbove.getScrollX()-200,0);
moved the content to right. But now got into another problem. which I have descibed here->

This is a picture of my phone (Android 2.1 with HKC Sense):
The bit that's got a red border around it is in the Clock app and the Media player on my phone. What is it called? Is it a standard Android interface control?
I've been trying to figure out how to get something like this for the past while and I'm not seeing anything immediately obvious.
I've seen a lot of people referring to the ActionBar or Split ActionBar, but that seems to be something that is anchored to the top. I need this to be at the bottom without any component on the top.
*please excuse
It's an actual pic of the phone, rather than a screenshot - the screenshot app I downloaded wouldn't work.
The fact that the pic was taken with an iPhone, and that the apple logo is clearly reflected in the pic.
You can use Split ActionBar
android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow"
And that will force the action bar items to be hosted on the bottom of the screen for narrow devices, mostly phones. When this flag is set, no components are hosted on the top of the ActionBar, unless you use tab navigation.
See example Image
Keep in mind though, that should you be displaying the layout on a non-narrow device, like a tablet, then the items will be attached to the top ActionBar.
Some other things to consider
Creating a custom view, which you can set to the bottom of the layout. The View would be a scrollable ListView per say, and you can add as many icons as you'd like to it. Here's an example. That would not be a standard nav pattern though.
