Check out the Library Projects – Development considerations: Library project storage location There are no specific requirements on where you should store a library project, relative to a dependent application project, as long as … Read more
For me, the best solution for avoid the history icon is don’t use ShareActionProvider, instead of it, create it as any other action: <item android:id=”@+id/menu_action_share” android:showAsAction=”ifRoom” android:icon=”@drawable/ic_action_share” android:title=”@string/share”/> at the menu/activity_actions.xml put a item with the ic_action_share icon… @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_actions, menu); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } Inflate the menu normally… private void … Read more
You can enable overlay mode of the ActionBar. To do it you have to set (android:)windowActionBarOverlay item in the theme to true. <style name=”MyTheme” parent=”Theme.Sherlock”> … <item name=”windowActionBarOverlay”>true</item> <!– for ActionBarSherlock –> <item name=”android:windowActionBarOverlay”>true</item> </style>
Try this… You don’t need to override onCreateOptionsMenu() in your Fragment class again. Menu items visibility can be changed by overriding onPrepareOptionsMenu() method available in Fragment class. @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setHasOptionsMenu(true); } @Override public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).setVisible(false); super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu); }
Try putting android:actionBarSize and actionBarSize under the Theme you are using, like so: <style name=”Theme.white_style” parent=”@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar”> <item name=”android:actionBarSize”>55dp</item> <item name=”actionBarSize”>55dp</item> </style>
The action bar background color is defined in a style for the action bar, not in the theme itself. You’ll need to do something like this: <style name=”Theme.MyTheme” parent=”Theme.Sherlock.ForceOverflow”> <item name=”actionBarStyle”>@style/Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar</item> <item name=”android:actionBarStyle”>@style/Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar</item> </style> <style name=”Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar” parent=”Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar”> <item name=”android:background”>#ff000000</item> <item name=”background”>#ff000000</item> </style> Be careful using colors defined in XML. ColorDrawable did not respect it’s view … Read more
Usually, you set your theme in the manifest, as shown in the Android developer documentation (and linked to from the ActionBarSherlock theming page). If you want to use ActionBarSherlock everywhere within your app, this works: <application android:icon=”@drawable/ic_launcher” android:label=”@string/app_name” android:theme=”@style/Theme.Sherlock”>
UPDATE: this answer is no longer valid, see the below answer for more up-to-date guidelines. I believe they have to be 32x32dp, but the actual image itself should be 24dpx24dp centred. The Android design website has the correct guidelines. I’ve submitted a bug report about this but have yet to hear anything…
You have to change the android:actionBarDivider attribute which belongs to the theme, not to the action bar style android:divider. You can remove the divider like this: <style name=”AppTheme” parent=”Theme.Sherlock”> <item name=”actionBarDivider”>@null</item> <item name=”android:actionBarDivider”>@null</item> </style>
