I need to create a slide menu for my app. So I search and follow the tutorials at this link. And to make the main content slide from left to right along with the slide menu, I following this link. But I got the result like below:
I dont know why the menu icon is not on the left side of action bar. Even when I slide the menu to the right or not, It just stay there, just pushes the Application icon and the title to the right, even out of the action bar. I tried to resize the menu icon to very small but It does not work. Please help me. Thank in advance.
Can anyone tell me how to do the following,
Remove The App Title bar & keep the action bar.
Move Tab Bar(Action Bar) to the bottom of the screen.
Remove Swipe Feature from the Tab.
Do this
Myactionbar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); Myactionbar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
Where my action bar is the name of your action bar
you can add
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
in your manifest file for your activity
We have to clarify some contents of your question:
the "app title bar" is part of the Action Bar, so they are the same thing; in other words you can't "divide" them, at last you can delete the title of your application;
you can't move the Action Bar to the bottom of the screen, but you can split it, as it says this official link (see Using split action bar paragraph); this can be do only if Action Bar is activated;
if you want to remove swipe feature from tab, see this StackOverflow question.
As you can see on this link and in this one, tabs on bottom are discouraged by Google (i don't wanna launch a discussion about this, forgive me).
But of course, you are free to do whatever you want with your app, and i found very usefull this solution.
That's all i can do. If you get struck again, post your code.
requestWindowFeature(Window.NO_ACTION_BAR)
would do the trick ! Do it before setting the content view.
To remove the very top bar Inside your oncreate() method place this
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
Now for the action bar to move it to the bottom there is no preset it can only be placed on the top unless you make your own interface visit this link

Hello everyone,
The first two pictures from the top is currently what I have. The arrow changes images when you click it. I want to make the arrow(action item) closer to the title(sort by) due to design requirements. I have tried to add blank action items to push the arrow over closer to the title but will not work to the various screen sizes.I also realize that the action bar is quite limited as you can only add action items to the right of the action bar.
I gave an example by displaying the bottom two pictures. As you can see the arrow is close to the Chinese title.
Any Ideas will be greatly appreciated as I am quite stuck. Thanks in advance !
Regards,
Ryan
You might be able to tell what the Chinese app is doing via uiautomatorviewer. Possibilities include:
They are using the logo, where the Chinese characters and the arrow are both part of the graphic image. See setDisplayUseLogoEnabled().
They have disabled the title and are using a custom navigation view. See setCustomView().
I add the image as icon on tab when i use tab bar. But it is so small. I want it to stretch to fill whole the button. Is there a way to do that?
Here is the Snapshot of my app:

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I suggest you to have a good reading on the action bar design guidelines.
It shows the correct icon sizes to use:

Use the following link and study about action bar
