Hi all I have to create fragment with out action bar. Like this
In this picture I created Lienarlayout and placed that image in center. Below of that I want to create 4 fragments like projects,calender,filter and search. I searched a lot and tried by many codes but all the fragments has created with action bar. But i need to create fragments without action bar. How can I create that? Can anybody tell me? Thanks in advance.
ActionBars are actually components of your Activity objects and not your Fragments. (Take a look at the ActionBar documentation here). If your app is API level >= 11, your Activity objects will have ActionBars by default. These are set by the SDK-provided Holo theme. You can remove the ActionBar from the Activity to which your fragments are attached.
In order to do so, modify the Holo theme. Create a styles resource like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="NoActionBar" parent="">
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
</resources>
Then in your manifest you should associate the modified theme with the Activity that you want to be ActionBar-less:
<activity
android:name="com.yourproject.activity.NoActionBarActivity"
android:theme="#style/NoActionBar" >
</activity>

First off, I'm not completely sure that Title Bar and Action Bar are the same? 2 different things?
I have an existing application that I need to maintain. In I have an activity that had a custom view as a title. What I want is to have the default title bar for the activity - the native one. I removed the custom view, and in the activity class I removed requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); but the activity still doesn't show the Title bar. I've set the activity theme to android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light". Still no Title Bar.
The activity intent is started with launchActivityForResult - don't know if that has anything to do with that.
What am I missing here? Is there a way to show it programmatically?
title-bar and action-bar is different thing.
use theme like this.
Theme.AppCompat.Light
instead of
Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar
<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
and add this theme to manifest
<application
android:name="com.qwesys.ecommerce.application.AppController"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/MyMaterialTheme">
First off, I'm not completely sure that Title Bar and Action Bar are the same? 2 different things?
Yes these are 2 different things implementation wise. Action Bar is now deprecated and we use something called the toolbar.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toolbar.html
You can make customized toolbar https://developer.android.com/training/appbar/setting-up.html
And for your second part use startActivityForResult() and like suggested by #sagar above you use the theme to to make the toolbar appear.
How to hide the action bar and get full screen with Theme.AppCompat.Light on Android 2.x? I had tried following code on styles.xml:
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
It doens't work. How to solve without use java code?
That configuration works. Just make sure you are adding the correct Theme from the correct styles.xml (not from values-vXX folder styles) file to your Activity in manifest.xml file.
Also make sure your Activity does not extend ActionBarActivity, but FragmentActivity, as you do not want the ActionBar to show.
I would like to use the default Android Theme.Light in one my activities.
However, when this particular theme is applied in my application Manifest file for the selected activity:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Light">
it hides the activity Action Bar.
What needs to be done in java or xml code to preserve the Action Bar, using this particular Light scheme ?
As an alternative, I have used the following default scheme:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
That scheme does show the activity Action Bar correctly, however some of its objects are not displayed as preferred. In particular, my preference would be to display buttons and spinners as per Theme.Light, but preserve the other style formatting offered by the Theme.DeviceDefault.Light
I would greatly appreciate some tips on how to achieve the above scheme formatting preferences. (I am using SDK = 16).
Why not use "android:style/Theme.Holo.Light" ? is the same but has actionbar it was added in the newer apis
I think you should use Holo.Ligt theme. The old android Theme.Light is not even aware of action bar.
I have the same problem, I like Theme.light's controls, I resolved it like this:
1) define "Theme.Light.ActionBar" in project's styles :
<style name="Theme.Light.ActionBar" parent="#android:style/Theme.Light">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">false</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">true</item>
</style>
2) in the manifest use it :
<activity
android:name="com.your.Activity"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Light.ActionBar" >
I hope that may help
I have an app that is using Viewpagerindicator. I am using the tabs portion of it. I use a black background and the default blue indicator color. I wanted to add an actionbar to my app so I started using Actionbarsherlock. In order to get my tabs to show an the action bar to show I created my own them which is called in my manifest file. The theme I created is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is our main ActionBarSherlock theme -->
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
</style>
<style name="Theme.VPI" parent="Theme.Styled">
<item name="vpiTitlePageIndicatorStyle">#style/Widget.TitlePageIndicator</item>
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">#style/Widget.TabPageIndicator</item>
<item name="vpiTabTextStyle">#style/Widget.TabPageIndicator.Text</item>
</style>
</resources>
When I run the app, I get my blue indicator color but the background of the entire app is white.
Originally I was how this code inside:
<style name="Theme.VPI" parent="Theme.Styled">
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">#style/CustomTabPageIndicator</item>
</style>
That gave me red indicators with a white background. I know the custom tabs are red with a white background and that is why I changed it from CustomTabPageIndicator to Widget.TabPageIndicator. However, I am still getting an all white background.
I have tried to just make my layout have a black background inside of my pageviewer, however when I do that, my buttons become really dark and unreadable.
My main question is to find where I can change the color inside of the Viewpagerindicator theme.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank You.

Good Luck..!!
I'm using a custom title bar in my app and it all works fine except that when the app starts up, the original (standard) android title bar is shown for a brief time before it is replaced by my custom title bar.
This is not a problem when the app is already loaded in memory because the 'delay' is not apparent but if the app is not already in memory, it is very obvious.
There's nothing special about the code :
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.window_title);
I thought about changing the style to have no window title and just include my custom title in the top of the layout but that doesn't seem right.
Thanks for any pointers.
Thomas Devaux has posted a smart solution. It worked in my app
Change the windowTitleBackgroundStyle to use color “#android:color/transparent”.
Also create a style for the text “android:windowTitleStyle” and set its “android:textColor” >to transparent as well.
For completeness to Lluis' answer, here's the full code you need to hide the default-title before the custom-title is initiated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="CustomWindowTitleStyle">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleSize">50dp</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleStyle">#style/CustomWindowTitleStyle</item>
</style>
</resources>
add a splash screen activity before the main activity loads, should have enough time for the next one to load properly
Are you able to use an app theme to set a custom title globally for your app? See here for a pretty good example. I had a similar problem and i seem to remember going this route fixed it.
