I've been looking around but I can't seem to find out how to implement an action bar that looks like the one in Google maps and Google now. Can anyone give me a link to a documentation/tutorial or at least the name of that type of action bar?
Edit:I've attached a picture of what i want the action bar to look like
Okay I've solved this myself. I hid the default actionbar and used XML to create the custom actionbar(using linearlayout, EditText and Buttons).
Hello everyone,
The first two pictures from the top is currently what I have. The arrow changes images when you click it. I want to make the arrow(action item) closer to the title(sort by) due to design requirements. I have tried to add blank action items to push the arrow over closer to the title but will not work to the various screen sizes.I also realize that the action bar is quite limited as you can only add action items to the right of the action bar.
I gave an example by displaying the bottom two pictures. As you can see the arrow is close to the Chinese title.
Any Ideas will be greatly appreciated as I am quite stuck. Thanks in advance !
Regards,
Ryan
You might be able to tell what the Chinese app is doing via uiautomatorviewer. Possibilities include:
They are using the logo, where the Chinese characters and the arrow are both part of the graphic image. See setDisplayUseLogoEnabled().
They have disabled the title and are using a custom navigation view. See setCustomView().
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.
PagerTabStrip
ViewPagerIndicator
I am working on an app right now whose blueprints I got from a friend. I offered to use the ActionBar for screen navigation, but he insists on a little red button at the top-right of the screen.
I have two question:
Having never designed in android, can I make the ActionBar completely transparent, except for a little red square on the right so it looks like what i described?
If there is not such way, can someone please offer an alternative? I was searching for "button drop down list", but got only very old tutorials. Maybe I should look for something else?
Thanks a lot
Yes, you can make the Action Bar transparent. There is an example: Custom Translucent Android ActionBar. Of course, you can make completely transparant AB. Then you can add a MenuItem to the top-right corner (it will be your little red button).
Here you have an Android Action Bar Style Generator. As you can see, there is an option for solid or transparent Action Bar.
There is no need to break the rules with a proper navigation pattern (Action Bar).
I want this type of custom title bar
But can anyone tell me what the portion marked with red is made of? I mean are they tabs or image buttons or something else? Please don't give me links on how to apply a custom title bar, I already know it. But I don't know what the red-marked portion is (tabs or image buttons etc) And how can I have that vertical line between Search and Make Video option (in the portion that's marked red) I'm using Gingerbread.
I tried using search engines but how can I search when I don't know the name of the thing I want to search :s
They are called ActionBar Action Items. See: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html\
As for dividers, take a look at: ActionBar MenuItem Divider
You should to use ActionBarSherlock.
