This library is deprecated. If you develop for Android 3.0 and above (API11) you should use the StdActionBar library and the StdActionBarHelper library for customizing the ActionBar.
Development has stopped on this library.
This library provides an ActionBar object. With this object it is possible to create an ActionBar like in Android 3.0 and above. This library is NOT a wrapper to the standard Android ActionBar available in Android 3.0 and above but it is a complete custom implementation.
The object is highly based on a free ActionBar implementation by Johan Nielsson. I had to make many modifications to get it usable for B4A.
The original library has some more features that are currently not exposed to B4A. This may be done in the future.
This library is somewhat different to other libraries because it makes use of standard Android resource files. Resource files cannot be published inside a .jar file and so you have to copy them to your Basic4Android project directory.
Copy the whole "res" directory structure to the "Objects" directory of your B4A project and VERY IMPORTANT: make all the files in it READ ONLY! Otherwise B4A will delete them when compiling. After you make any change to the Objects/res directory use "Clean project" menu item in B4A to force the compiler to recreate the R.java file.
If you forget to make the resource files read only then you will most likely get a ResourceNotFound exception when you try to use the ActionBar.
Installation:
- Copy the .jar and .xml files to your custom libs folder
- Copy the res directory structure to <Your project folder>\Objects\res
- Make all files in <Your project folder>\Objects\res\xxx read only
- If you import this into an existing project use "Clean project" menu in B4a to force update of resource java files.
History:
v1.00
- initial version
