I have implemented ActionBar in my app and I have 3 tabs (Fragments) inside the actionbar.
I want to show options (light blue colored bar in screenshot) with some buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Can someone guide me about how to implement this?
Thanks
to display the actionbar menu items at the bottom add to the activity element in the manifest file this attribute
android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow"
example:
<activity
android:name=".HomeScreen"
...
...
android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow">
Ok. I got your question. You can try a tab host for upper tabs and relative layout for the below bar where you can put your stuff.

The app I am working on has the bottom ActionBar for the MainActivity set in Menifest as
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.UI_OPTIONS"
android:value="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" />
As I am using Navigation Drawer and I want to add some Items to the Top ActionBar of one of the Fragment on Navigation. But when I add an item it always show up in the bottom ActionBar. I need some help how can I achieve this, as I am using Fragment not activity and I cannot add this in Menifest for the Fragment.
I have total 7 icons for my android app.
Can i split them for mobile in two actionbars top and bottom? I mean 2 icons in top actionbar and remaining icons should be in bottom actionbar.
The action bar can be automatically splitted if there is no place using the property splitActionBarWhenNarrow, example:
<application
android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" > ....
Yes but you will have to do this in code, eg. instantiate the icons and add them to the correct actionbar view. There is no implementation logic for this available in the xml format as far as I know.
I'm doing my project which is based on action bar tabs....I encountered with a problem.....it is
1.My requirement is i need to place 4 tabs at the bottom of the screen whenever I'm clicking the tab the view should be change.
2.So at first i choose tabs for this but i got to know that tabs are deprecated.
3.So i have chosen action bar with tabs and for view i have chosen fragments .
4.Still now every thing is fine and perfect.
5.But what i need is i need to place those tabs at the bottom.
6.And exactly i need tab view i tried split action bar for this but it doesn't appear to the tab view.
7.So dear developers can you please help me for this
I think i have given valid information .If you feel it as insufficient please let me know
While ActionBar has a manifest attribute: android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" this won't work always, not for tabs.
The other option you have is to use a ViewPager with a FragmentStatePagerAdapter. This will make swipe-able pages from fragment. Now you can include PagerTabStrip or PagerTitleStrip in Activity layout, inside <ViewPager> tag, at top or at bottom by using android:layout-gravity attribute on it.
This will show and switch to fragment/page titles.
I am using ActionBar Sherlock + Sliding Menu in my project. In an activity i have a ListView. I want the listItem contextmenu to appear at the bottom like in gmail app when an item is selected. How do i do this?
You mean number 4 here?
That's a split actionbar.
To enable split action bar, simply add
uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" to your <activity> or
<application> manifest element.
(From the docs)
To learn about this visit the contextual action mode section on the developer guid on developer.android.com
Edit:
splitActionBarWhenNarrow has been deprecated.
my application contains action bar tab with fragments. it will add dynamically tabs to action bar. when multiple tabs added the text on tab gets wrapped. is there any way to set text in single line only
Take a look at this very useful library to work with ActionBar Tabs in android:
