    The project attached uses the powerful AppCompat library to replace the built-in ActionBar with a more robust ToolBar.

    The NavigationItemClick event is raised when the icon is clicked.

    You can set ToolbarHelper.ShowUpIndicator = True to show an up arrow instead. It will raise the same event.

    You can change the toolbar color in the manifest editor.

    I guess you are using an Android.jar from Api below 24...

    Use a more recent android.jar (25 as of today) and set it under Tools->Configure Paths

    Now with a more colorful popup menu:

    [​IMG]

    The color is set in the manifest editor:
    Code:
    <style name="ToolbarMenu" parent="Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
        <item name=    "android:textColorPrimary">#fff</item>
        <item name=    "android:colorBackground">#0098FF</item>
       </style>
    And is set with this code:
    Code:
    Dim jo As JavaObject = ACToolBarLight1
    Dim xl As XmlLayoutBuilder
    jo.RunMethod(    "setPopupTheme", Array(xl.GetResourceId("style", "ToolbarMenu")))

    Hi Guys,

    any idea what could this error be "invalid resource directory name: C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Tutorials And Samples\B4a Samples\AppCompatWithDynamicMenuAndBadge\AppCompat\Objects\bin\extra\res2\res/values-b+sr+Latn"

    Thanks

    Talking about B4A you are right. But Erel said that the issue is related to the installed Build-Tools. It should be a NEWER one than you are using.

    Install the newer 25.0.3.
    DEINSTALL all versions <25
