I made a custom title bar for my app which works. However, when the app first loads, the app name is displayed in the title bar for a moment before my text appears. How do I stop this from happening?
I set my custom title bar in my main activity here: code...
My title bar background doesn't flash, just the text.

I have a custom title bar that I would like to apply to all my activities. I have searched online and found a few ways of doing that however I have ran into a problem. It seems that despite the fact I have a TextView in my titlebar with id @android:id/title, Android will not use the value defined in the manifest in android:label for each activity. I tried also calling setTitle(R.string.myTitle) but it still will not render it! If I manually put some text in my TextView in the xml it shows up fine. How can I have a custom title bar that is linked and makes Android use my manifest values for labels? I do not want to lose the setTitle() or the XML attributes functionality.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up an app to use a custom title so I can get the proper logo into the title instead of just text, and to make it clean (since the logo has a flat black background), I also want the whole title bar to be black. My xml for the title is a framelayout to hold the logo inside of a linearlayout to change the background color, and I'm setting the title in OnCreate() as follows:
CODE:.........................
With this setup, the old gray from the old title bar still exists around the edge of my custom title. Appears to be on the order of 3-4 px on the bottom and 8-10 px on each side. Any ideas about how to get the black background to cover the entire area?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn one of my Android Application I need to keep the title bar same but the view that is shown in the rest of the screen changes. So, I have taken different Activity for all the views that I need to show and set the title bar in every Activities onCreate method. Now, the problem is that I have a button in the title bar and need to perform certain action on its click event. Writing the same event handling code in every Activity class is very cumbersome. Is there any other way out that whenever there is a click event on that button of the title bar then we can have the same functionality without writing the same code in all the Activity classes. Can we use ViewGroup for that? I don't have much idea about ViewGroup. Is that possible with ViewGroup?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen my application starts, I call: this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); to get rid of the title bar. I then create a custom ViewGroup and when set that view to be the content view via a call to 'setContentView', the 'onLayout' method of my ViewGroup is called. However, the top position is set to 25, even though I have turned off the title. How can I set my ViewGroup to take up all of the space, including the space formally occupied by the title bar?

Is there a way to set the title once and have it affect all activities? or do I have to manually set the title on each activity?

I have a possible simple layout questions. My activity content view contains a title bar, a webview and a status bar. I put these three views into a linearlayout and each has height as WRAP_CONTENT.
The problem is, when first displays, webview doesn't take much space because the page is not loaded. The status bar is showed right under title bar. When the page is loaded, webview expands over the screen size and the status bar is not shown even when scroll down to the button. (I tried to set webView's height to FILL_PARENT, but status bar is not shown)
What is the correct way I can layout this so the title bar always at the top, the status bar always at the bottom and webview always take the remaining middle space and have scroll bar when contents takes larger space?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have three tabs in my Application. On an event under one Tab, i want to change the title of an another existing Tab. This is the title that we provide while adding the tabs to the TabHost.
Eg: TabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab2")).setIndicator("I need to be Changed dynamically").setContent....
In the above example, the title of the tab2 that i provided under setIndicator(), should be changed dynamically.
Is there any way to accomplish this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to give my application launcher icon (the one that is displayed on the startscreen!) a different, shorter caption. It seems the launcher takes its label from the mainfest section about the main activity's label, as here:
<activity android:name="MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_short_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
I already changed the original reference to my app's name @string/app_name to a different, shorter string resource here. BUT - big BUT: this also of course changes this activity's default title! And I did not want that to happen, there's enough space for a long application name! Setting the long title again in onCreate using the setTitle(int) method does no good either, because the short name will be visible to the user for a short time, but long enough to notice!
And - please don't answer my question by refering to a custom titlebar... I do not want to go that long way, just because of a stupid string title! It's a pain to draw a custom title bar for so little effect! Is there no easy way to just give the launcher a different string to display?
I'm writing a preference screen in in xml for my Android application. My issue is that some of the titles of the preferences are too long and will not wrap the page. Consider my example:
<CheckBoxPreference
android:title="Language Detection (BETA)"
android:defaultValue="false"
android:summary="Automatically decide which language to use"
android:textSize="15px"
android:lines="4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Maybe I'm missing something but I have tried using number of other properties with no positive results. I have tried android:singleLine, android:lines, etc., and none of these seem to effect the title of the preference. Also is there a way to scale down the size of a CheckBox title?
I already know ho to hide the title bar with the getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); in the Activity onCreate() method before the setContentView() call.
But i want something different. I'd like to show/hide the title bar in any moment. To make an example, place a button in the view that toggle the title. Unfortunately the requestFeature can be done only before the call to setContentView().
