I am using a custom actionbar view, and as you can see in the screenshot below, there is a blank gray space in the actionbar. I want to remove it.
What have I done:
res/values-v11/styles.xml
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
res/values/my_custom_actionbar.xml
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="ActionBarStyle" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="android:height">60dp</item>
</style>
</resources>
Manifest
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/AppName"
android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme" >
<!-- activities... etc -->
</application>
MainActivity
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
ActionBar actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.setDefaultDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
actionbar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
actionbar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
actionbar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
actionbar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionbar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);
actionbar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
// Add the custom layout
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.actionbar, null, false);
actionbar.setCustomView(view);
}
I have found a recent post, that is pointing out that there is an issue with the latest release. I have also updated ADT and SDK to Android 5.
Android ActionBar’s custom view not filling parent
I don’t know what should I do.
Edit (partial solution):
Not working on Android <= API 10.
Android Lollipop, AppCompat ActionBar custom view doesn’t take up whole screen width
What have I changed:
Use the latest sdk version:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
Add a toolbarStyle
:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="android:toolbarStyle">@style/ToolbarStyle</item>
<item name="toolbarStyle">@style/ToolbarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="ToolbarStyle" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar">
<item name="contentInsetStart">0dp</item>
<item name="android:contentInsetStart">0dp</item>
</style>
