Action Bar with navigation drawer

Question

This is very similar to many question already posted on stackoverflow, but I still haven't found the right solution. The problem I'm facing is how to implement a custom actionbar.xml file and add a navigation drawer function to the top left icon.

I'm trying to create an action bar that looks like this with two ImageButtons on side and an ImageView as a logo in the center. When user presses on the left ImageButton from actionbar.xml, I would like navigation drawer coming from the left, like in this tutorial . The last thing that troubles me, is how to put a title of pressed fragment in the center of the action bar instead of a logo.

I've already written all xml and java files, but I just can't put the pieces together. Please help.

Answer 1

I believe you have solution to create navigation drawer.

Now for your question HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM ACTION BAR

Try like this ..

    actionBar = getSupportActionBar(); // Get Action Bar reference.

        actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.action_bar_confirm_cabs); Set your action bar view like this

        fare_ll = (TextView) actionBar.getCustomView().findViewById(R.id.fare_ll); Get id of your custom view like this ...

        actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM); // Set property for Custom view like this.

fare_ll.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
        });

That's it.... You are good to go.
