junglejet Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 18, 2014 #1 There seems to be some kind of caption bar convention for newer Android apps. These consist of a menu button (half hamburger) or logo to the left of the caption bar with a left arrow to return to the previous level some icons to the right some space for text or an input field in the middle. Is this something that can easily be setup in B4A by a module or lib? Or must I start from scratch rebuilding it? Not mentioning the blueish bar color, which also seems to be some sort of convention.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User May 19, 2014 #4 You don't need any library to show the standard action bar. Just make sure that androidSdkVersion is set to 14 in the manifest editor (this is the default value for new projects). About the search engine, use the filters to find libraries: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=action+bar&page=1&prefix=1 Upvote 0
