I'm using greendroid as a library in order to implement an action bar. I have a problem about how to remove the home button and customize the location of buttons.For example, I want to place the Add button first.

In the picture above, I plan to arrange the Compose button to be displayed first, but I have problems on how to do it. Anyone know how to arrange the order of greendroid's action bar?

Right now I am using three FloatingActionButtons to represent add, save, and reset operations. However according to Material Design guidelines, you shouldn't use more than one such button: https://material.google.com/components/buttons-floating-action-button.html
What is the accepted practice? Is there another sort of bar that is better for holding onto multiple functionality buttons?
I would suggest using a single action button that transforms into related actions, i.e., add, save and reset.
So you'll have something like this after the floating action button was pressed:

Another option could be transforming the floating action button into a toolbar like this:

I have an application that has action bar sherlock and SlidingMenu integrated in it, the application has only 3 pages, and they're static pages, so no big deal about them. I have one activity and 3 fragments that i am changing when using the sliding menu.
What i want to achieve is something like this image
I want the user to be able to swipe with his finger on the ActionBar, and when that happens i change the fragment that is being displayed.
Note: i got the gesture recogniser from this awesome answer, but i can't seem to find a way to attach it to the ActionBar.
If i could put a View on the action bar and detect swipe on it, that would be great, but how can i do that ?!?
One last thing, how to implement this "Page Control" in android ?!?
So the answer to my question is that i simply created a custom_actionbar.xml, and then i used this to do the following:
View custom = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.actionbar_custom, null);
getActionBar().setCustomView(custom);
// and you can use the things in the custom action bar like following !!
Button btnLeft = (Button) custom.findViewById(R.id.btnMenu);
Hope it helps someone :)
I'm new in android programming, I want to create the GUI of my app, when making that the action bar must be customized to looks like :
here i have "three" things:
the button shape in the non-clicking state.
the button shape in the clicking state.
the buttons separator shape.
while searching i found somethings like Android-actionbar and ActionBar-Sherlock and i'm also familiar with how to customize the action bar and how to add buttons imagess and change it upon clicking, NOW, i don't know if there's is possibility to achieve my work using any of these methods, OR IF NOT, what's the best way.
You should take a look at both these links.

I am using Action Bar in my application to implement Tab Fragments. I am successful in it. But getting a small problem. I am in a need of a drop-down list at the Right Corner of the action bar and a search button. Please see the image:
You can see the red marked buttons that i need to show in Action bar and below the actionbar we have tab fragments. I am successful in generating the Fragments but getting problem in showing these buttons on Actionbar. Please help me
The overflow button is automatically generated but if you have a phone with hardware button it wont show up. You shouldn't try to force it to show up as it goes against ussual behaviour for people with phones that have a hardware button.
i'm building an app and i really want to align buttons to the left using ABS (action bar sherlock) 4.0
I really like the dropbox interface as shown under this:
So, my question is: How can i align the buttons to the left and how can i jump between views in ViewFlow using buttons?
I've seen that people can add tabs to their ABS, but not with the title like the Dropbox interface.
Thanks.
Also if u need my sourcecode i will add it later if needed.

setCustomView() is the magic method you might be looking for.
To achieve the same layout shown in the Dropbox app, you would first call setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false) on your ActionBar.
Next, you could define the layout for the buttons somewhere in XML. Once this is done, calling setCustomView(R.layout.my_actionbar_nav) will do the trick. (It will now be positioned on the left-hand side of the ActionBar).
It'll be your responsibility to wire up the appropriate onClick listeners for your layout's inner button Views, but it's not a bad price to pay for setting up custom navigation.
