Does this action bar support the "up a level" navigation feature?

There is a "ShowHomeAsUp" option. But it looks a bit different than in the standard Android 3+ Actionbar.

How so? Can I customize/intercept its action?

Oh, and can you reply to this?

Setting the background color in the ActionBar

Try as I might... I have not been able to change the background color from the Red.... I don't even see where the Red is coming from?

HElp?

ab.Background = Colors.Green ?? No work...

Any thoughts?

Hi. I was trying to integrate the AHQuickAction function in my test program by using the Activity.AddMenuItem3() item instead of using button. When I clicked on the menuitem, the program hit the below error. My program was added a CustomListView by using Activity.AddView(CustomListView, x,x,x)

If you click a menu item then the sender is not a view but a simple string (The Menu text).

You have to place a dummy view (panel) somewhere on the screen and use this as an anchor object for the QuickAction.

Hi Corwin,
thanks for your reply. I had tested with button and it's working. But can't when using MenuItem on Activity title, added using Activity.AddMenuItem3() function. Is there any refererences or sample code I can refer to?
thanks.

corwin42 · Sep 30, 2013

Here I wrote an answer to the problem. You may want to change the position of the dummy panel or make it invisible etc.

Why this code works ok in debug mode, and not in relase?

B4X:

'Part from Sub Global:

    Dim AB As ClsActionBar
    Dim PopupMenu1 As AHPopupMenu
    Dim PopupPatrolType As AHQuickAction3D


'Part from Activity_create:

    PopupMenu1.Initialize("PopupMenu1")
    AddAHActionMenuItem(PopupMenu1, 1, "STOP", "Icon Stop.png", False)    'THIS IS WHERE IT STOPS WITH ERROR
    AddAHActionMenuItem(PopupMenu1, 2, "Settings", "Icon Settings.png", False)
    AddAHActionMenuItem(PopupMenu1, 3, "About App & OS MAPS", "Icon About.png", False)


'Custom Sub to add items

Sub AddAHActionMenuItem(MenuObject As View, ItemIndex As Int, Text As String, IconFileName As String, Sticky As Boolean)

    Dim ai As AHActionItem
    Dim Icon As BitmapDrawable
    Icon.Initialize(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, IconFileName))

    ai.Initialize(ItemIndex, Text, Icon)

    If Sticky Then ai.Sticky = True

    'Add the item to menu
    Dim obj As AHQuickAction
    obj=MenuObject
    obj.AddActionItem(ai)

End Sub

I get this error:

B4A line: 127
AddAHActionMenuItem(PopupMenu1, 1, \

^

Where is mistake?

I was trying to make sub to easily add new items. Why this is not implemented or I'm missing it?

Edit: Wie ich gerade sehe bist du aus Deutschland

Also ich hab alles gemacht, wie du gesagt hast aber bei "Generating R File" kommt immer das da oben. Ich konnte allerdings schon einmal deine Actionbar erfolgreich nutzen. Jetzt gehts egal, was ich mache in meinem neuen Projekt nicht mehr!?
Grüße
P.S. Gute Arbeit!
Edit: works now. It was a b4a v. 3.2 bug. Erel- please solve this

Yes, it's a problem with the 3.20 version of B4A if you use the #AdditionalRes attribute. Will be solved in B4A 3.50.

You can use AHQuickaction library for adding a PopupMenu style menu like the above.

I currently recommend to use StdActionBar library if possible. There you will have the overflow menu feature automatically included.
