I have a problem with the AppCombat.Light action bar. I want to customize my actionbar but I want to reference the layout globaly. Currently I would have to change the actionbar in each Activity like this:
private void setupActionBar() {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.action_bar_layout);
ImageButton tmp = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.action_bar_button);
tmp.setImageResource(R.drawable.ico_nav);
tmp.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
}
XML:
But I want to specify the layout parameters in my style sheet. Is this possible?
Currently my action bar looks like this:
but I want an action bar which looks like this:
Now my question is:
Can I customize my aciton bar in a xml file? If so how can I apply it on all activities?
PS: I dont want to edit the action bar programatically!!!
You should create an Activity class and make all of your activities inherit from it. Then you just write your code once.

I have an activity in my app, which is using swipeable tabs with action bar
For example :-

So my question is to add action bar to my activity and remove titlbar
similar question
I'm unsure as to exactly what you class as a title bar but you could do this in XML by putting the following in your Android Manifest for a particular activity to remove your title bar.
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen
Add this to your activity before calling setContentView();
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR | Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
if that dosen't work try this
//use this to disable the icon from ActionBar
getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
//use this to disable the application name from ActionBar
getActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
Use this code in oncreate() method of activity before adding content:
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
I have done practice adding menu on action bar. But for this case I have to add tab in actionbar (not below the actionbar) like below figure:
Please help me to find out the solution. Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English.
For your purpose you can try a simple stuff by creating custom ActionBar like this
You can create custom Action bar like this ..
// gets actionBar reference ..
actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
// This sets custom layout to action bar
actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.action_provider);
// this is how... .... you get id of layout defined
iv_d = (ImageView) actionBar.getCustomView().findViewById(R.id.action_menu);
Now if you need to show stuff like ActionBar tabs then simply provide background on every layout where each layout contains a text and Image... This will provide a look n feel of ActionBar Tab over ActionBar.
Hope it clears your doubt. Let me know if still you have any concern in same.
Thanks.

I am trying to add and action bar to my app, and customize it.

but i don't know how to customize background and remove that package name which appears next to the logo so i can give more "Room" to my items to be displayed correctly.

Thank you in advance.
I would suggest to create a custom action bar in layout folder and use it with below code:
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); //Applications action bar isntance
actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.my_action_bar);
If you use this, you can directly use action bar view's content and do whatever you want.
