Android Question Symbols in App Header

[brodmuehler]

Dear All

I would like include some symbols in the header of my App like the magnifying glass in the attached picture. Could someone perhaps indicate, how I get them there? That would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regards
René

I found that this link was helpful:

It pointed the way, for me, to a number of other helpful posts, such as:

AppCompat is indeed the best solution. However for this it is enough to call Activity.AddMenuItem3.

Guys

works excellent. Thanks again.

I have another question. Is there a way to show and hide symbols/icons in the header of the app. What I want to do is the following: I have a CustomsListView in my App. As soon as the user clicks on one of the list items, I want to show an Edit and a Delete icon in the header. Once the user made a choice and either deleted or edited the listitem, those two symbols should disappear again until the next ListItem is clicked.

Any tips are highly appeciated.
Thanks
René

I suggest you look at this post:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ies-for-the-standard-actionbar.36898/#content

and download the example "ActionModeExample.zip" and look at the code.


I just did something very similar to what you are looking for and this post and code examples were a great help.
( as are ALL corwin42's code samples, tutorials, etc.)
