When my activity opened, I need to move application icon which is displayed on left side of action bar to bit left inside
How can I do this?
If all you're wanting to do is have your icon not butt up so close to the left edge of the screen just provide a custom drawable that has a little extra transparent padding on the left side. I've done it. Works like a charm.

I am developing an app having redial menu,which shows different buttons.Lots of demo of redial menu are available,But i want to show the redial menu from top right corner.please help or any suggestion.
The standard button placement for ActionBar is the top-right corner. If you add button to your ActionBar using the standard menu metaphor, you can place a button to do whatever you want in the top right corner.
I want to implement sliding Menu like below images ,I am using SlidingPaneLayout to create Left Sliding Menu but How i can make it to behave like below images.
Now when some one close it by Either top left icons click or by drag to left it should be close like below shown image.
This image are just for giving idea of what i am try to do in my sliding Menu .
Let me known that some known how to achieve such in android.
I'm experimenting for the first time with Android's Navigation Drawer. I think it is a very elegant way to provide an application menu. However, showing my prototype to some friends, it seems that it is not quit intuitive to search for a menu i) on the top left corner respectively ii) on the left side of the screen.
To provide a "user hint" for case i), I added a custom image by creating an ActionBarDrawerToggle. This results in following design of the title bar (the little arrow is the cutom image, while the red star is the application icon):
Now while developping, I thought this is quite obvious, but apparantly I'm wrong :). So as a second idea, to support a user to find option ii) described below, I tried to figure out how to add a further image at a specific place, which I want to explain with following image:
Don't look at the design itself in the first place, but following: the image must be placed outside of the "view bounds" (when the navigation menu is hidden), and also exceed the navigation panel itself on the right side (always). Is this in any way possible without customize the entire navigation panel? I really wonder why I can't find much about this idea, since I think it is a very nice option to provide for the user (as long as the arrow don't disturbs the application usage)
Although I haven't actually tested it with Android's Navigation Drawer,
did you try putting an imageview in your activity's layout? The image would be placed in the middle vertically and on parent left horizontally. I believe this would work (i.e. the image will get pushed when you open the drawer. As an improvement you could also change the image itself in the drawer's callbacks, so that you have an arrow pointing right when the drawer is closed and an arrow pointing left when the drawer is open.
Hope it helps.
I'm using ActionBarSherlock and have set an icon using android:logo in my theme. I'd like for the icon to be flush with the left side of the screen, but it always has 6px of spacing (measured using the hierarchy viewer). I've highlighted in red the part of the icon that I can't get rid of. If I set DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP for the action bar, then the up affordance is shown as in the second image with no additional spacing.
I assume the spacing is there to keep the icon in the same place regardless of whether the up arrow present. I'm never going to show the up arrow, so I rather have the icon flush on the left.
You can set customView like this:
actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.customActionBarLayout)
and create your own layout just as you like it
I am working with the android Sliding Drawer and have it working more or less. However, I am running into one problem.
I want it to slide from the right to left which works fine (set orientation to horizontal). However, the handle for the sliding drawer is at the center right of the screen. Is there anyway I can position it at the top right hand corner of the screen? Perhaps with a padding fo 20dp at the top?
There is a SlidingDrawer 'android:topOffset' property. However, this does not seem to do anything irrespective of whether I put the property on the slidingDrawer tag itself or on the handle (ImageView) tag.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
