Android Change App图标标题

Question

I have a single activity controlling many fragments. When i perform certain fragment transactions I add the transaction to the back stack and enable the app icon in the action bar to navigate up, ie, setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) . However, I'd like to change the text alongside the app icon (currently defaulting to the app name) at run time to provide the user with a better indication of where they are located in the app. Any ideas of how this can be done?

Answer 1

Two ways, dynamically:

ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
bar.setTitle("Title");
bar.setSubtitle("subtitle"); 

In manifest.xml:

 <application
    android:label="@string/app_name" >  

In Fragment:

(FragmentActivity) getActivity()).getActionBar().setTitle(R.string.title);

There is a lot of answers on that, try to do some researches to take these tricks, see: Handling ActionBar title with the fragment back stack?

Answer 2

Use

setTitle("title text")

...within an Activity to change the text shown in the title bar next to the icon.
