I would like to add 2 menu options to the action bar. One is Search and the other is custom one. When I tried to add, the 2nd option is always going to over flow menu only. But I want that to be displayed always as below.
But it's being displayed as
Here is my menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:yourapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<item
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
yourapp:actionViewClass="android.support.v7.widget.SearchView"
yourapp:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/action_add_new_event"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/action_add_new_event"/>
</menu>
Any idea about how can I achieve this? Thanks in advance.
I just modified the below code
<item
android:id="#+id/action_add_new_event"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/action_add_new_event"/>
to
<item
android:id="#+id/action_add_new_event"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh"
yourapp:showAsAction**="ifRoom|withText"
android:title="#string/action_add_new_event"/>
and it worked.

I have to following problem, I want to change the selector from the actionbar item (just the normal actionbar, neither support actionbar nor actionbarsherlock). The backgroud color should be grey instead of default blue if the item icon is pressed. I have searched a lot and know that I need to override the attribute android:actionBarItemBackground in styles, but still my selector doesnt work, the background color is transparent, but the color in on pressed state is not grey, it stays transparent. :/
here is my code:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">#drawable/action_bar_item_drawable</item>
</style>
and here the drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:exitFadeDuration="#android:integer/config_shortAnimTime">
<item android:drawable="#android:color/transparent"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/grey" android:state_pressed="true"/>
</selector>
anyone an idea?
When you supply a selector as a drawable, the first matching item that satisfies all conditions will be displayed.
In your drawable, the transparent color gets chosen every time because it doesn't have any condition such as state_pressed="true".
You should put items with more restricting conditions first and item without any condition as the last one.
Your drawable should instead look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:exitFadeDuration="#android:integer/config_shortAnimTime">
<item android:drawable="#color/grey" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#android:color/transparent"/>
</selector>
so I have this hl7 type message that I have to transform using either regex or xslt or combination of two.
Format of this message is DateTime(as in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS)^UnitName^room^bed|). Each location is separated with a pipe, so each person can have one or multiple locations.
And the messages looks like this( when a patient has only one location):
20130602201605^Some Hospital^ABFG^411|
End xml result should look like this:
<Location>
<item>
<when>20130602201605</when>
<UnitName>Some Hospital</UnitName>
<room>ABFG</room>
<bed>411</bed>
</item>
</Location>
I would probably use substring type of function if it was only one location.
The problem I am running into is when there is more than one. I am relatively new to xslt and regex in general so I don't know how to use recursion in these instances.
So if I have a message like this with multiple locations:
20130601003203^GBMC^XXYZ^110|20130602130600^Sanai^ABC^|20130602150003^John Hopkins^J615^A|
The end result should be:
<Location>
<item>
<when>0130601003203</when>
<UnitName>GBMC</UnitName>
<room>XXYZ</room>
<bed>110</bed>
</item>
<item>
<when>20130602130600</when>
<UnitName>Sanai</UnitName>
<room>ABC</room>
<bed></bed>
</item>
<item>
<when>20130602150003</when>
<UnitName>John Hopkins</UnitName>
<room>J615</room>
<bed>A</bed>
</item>
</Location>
So how would I solve this? Thanks in advance.
Given that your Hl7 message is "|^~\&" encoded and not in an XML format, it is not clear how you will be using an XSLT 1.0 processor for your task. Can you describe your processing pipeline in greater detail? Your snippets are not complete messages, and it is not clear whether you will be starting with complete messages or attempting to parse isolated fields handed to a larger processing task through parameters or something.
If your processing starts with a complete HL7 message, I would suggest looking into the HAPI project, or a similar set of libraries, to have the messages converted from |^~\& to </> format, then invoking your XSLT on that version of the data. (You could also use the HAPI libraries in a full-Java solution. In either case, there are code examples at the HAPI site and at an Apache site on HL7.) If you are not interested in using Java at all, but are open to partial non-XSLT solutions, there are other projects that provide similar serialization options (e.g., Net::HL7 for Perl, nHAPI for VB/C#, etc.).
If you have isolated "|^~\&" encoded data in an otherwise XML formatted file, then I would suggest looking into the str:tokenize function in the XSLT 1.0 exslt functions. (XSLT 2.0 has a built-in tokenize function.) You can have str:tokenize split your data on the field or component separators, then create elements using the tokenized substrings.
Here is a stylesheet
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings"
extension-element-prefixes="str"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="data">
<Location>
<xsl:for-each select="str:tokenize(.,'|')">
<xsl:call-template name="handle-field">
<xsl:with-param name="field" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
</Location>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="handle-field">
<xsl:param name="field"/>
<xsl:variable name="components" select="str:tokenize($field,'^')"/>
<item>
<when><xsl:value-of select="$components[1]"/></when>
<UnitName><xsl:value-of select="$components[2]"/></UnitName>
<room><xsl:value-of select="$components[3]"/></room>
<bed><xsl:value-of select="$components[4]"/></bed>
</item>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
that runs over this input
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>20130601003203^GBMC^XXYZ^110|20130602130600^Sanai^ABC^|20130602150003^John Hopkins^J615^A|</data>
to produce this output with xsltproc:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Location>
<item>
<when>20130601003203</when>
<UnitName>GBMC</UnitName>
<room>XXYZ</room>
<bed>110</bed>
</item>
<item>
<when>20130602130600</when>
<UnitName>Sanai</UnitName>
<room>ABC</room>
<bed/>
</item>
<item>
<when>20130602150003</when>
<UnitName>John Hopkins</UnitName>
<room>J615</room>
<bed>A</bed>
</item>
</Location>
Your source message is in a string form, you need to create a parser that uses regex to split the message based on first pipes and then carat. refer to Unable to parse ^ character which has my original code for the parser and the solution gives a different approach to it.
After you have individual elements you need to add it to your xml as nodes.
I am trying to understand fragments. All the examples I read is about having a main activity and then two sub fragments.
The issue is that my program has only 1 activity. Can I make it a fragment?
Current ui main class
public class MainActivity extends Activity {}
Can I make it
public class MainActivity extends Fragment {}
The program I am trying to create will constantly monitor phone variables and display logs in a textView. I don't want to lose the logs when the user changes the orientation or some other change when the os destroys the ui.
The UI is basically 1 textView that gets filled by a runnable that updates the textView every 5 seconds with the content of a linked list. I don't want to lose the content of the linked list basically.
I checked getLastNonConfigurationInstance() but it seems it's depreciated so I don't want to use that
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Found answer here:
http://blog.webagesolutions.com/archives/458
So after a lot of searching I found that if you add the following:
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
in the androidManifest.xml, the os will not destroy the activity when switching from portrait mode to landscape mode.
My xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.axr0284.phonecontrol"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.axr0284.phonecontrol.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Hope this helps somebody,

I have used ActionBarSherlock in my application for providing ActionBars to pre honeycomb devices. I want to use Light.DarkActionBar Theme in, How can I customize following for parts of the ActionBar (see image)
Background color of ActionBar
Background Image for ActionBar tab bar
The bottom line which represents the selected tab
The divider between tabs...
I have tried using following settings, Though I have achieved some success but the result however doesn't look as expected,
<item name="android:background">#drawable/bg_title_bar</item>
<item name="background">#drawable/bg_title_bar</item>
<item name="actionModeSplitBackground">#drawable/bg_tab_bar</item>
<item name="android:actionModeSplitBackground">#drawable/bg_tab_bar</item>
Which are the other settings that I should use ? Thanks!!
This is how I did it just in case someone has similar requirements in future..
I downloaded a sample zip file from Style Genarator... Unzipping and a close look on the content suggested that I needed following attributes,
for Background color of ActionBar
<item name="background">#drawable/title_bg</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/title_bg</item>
2.
for Background Image for ActionBar tab bar
<item name="backgroundStacked">#drawable/tab_bg</item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">#drawable/tab_bg</item>
3.
for The bottom line which represents the selected tab
i. I created a style as follows
<style name="ActionBar.TabStyle" parent="#style/Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.TabView">
<item name="background">#drawable/ab_tab_indicator</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/ab_tab_indicator</item>
</style>
ii. I used that style in the theme as follows
<item name="actionBarTabStyle">#style/ActionBar.TabStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">#style/ActionBar.TabStyle</item>
4 for The divider between tabs...
in theme I added two lines..
<item name="actionBarTabBarStyle">#style/My.ActionBar.TabBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabBarStyle">#style/My.ActionBar.TabBar</item>
than
<style name="My.ActionBar.TabBar" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar.TabBar">
<item name="divider">#drawable/tab_divider</item>
<item name="android:showDividers">middle</item>
<item name="android:divider">#drawable/tab_divider</item>
<item name="android:dividerHeight">24dp</item>
<item name="android:dividerPadding">8dp</item>
<!-- <item name="android:background">#drawable/tab_unselected</item> -->
</style>
Here is a link! use this style generator, customize as you need. Download the file, copy past all the drawables to respective directories, copy style.xml under values directory..
and use the give theme name as your theme either in manifest of respective activity..
Hope this works for you
Is there a way to change the background color of the tab bar in the ActionBar without changing it in the one line version?
To clarify what I want: In portrait mode the ActionBar is split in two lines, the ActionBar itself and the tabs below. In landscape mode the tabs are in the actual ActionBar.
I want to change the background color of the portrait mode. If I change the background in the TabView it'll be changed for both modes. Do I have to create separate styles for those? Which brings up a second question: is there a way to know when it'll be two lines and when not?
Or am I just missing something?
I'm using ActionBarSherlock btw
I think you are looking for the android:backgroundStacked attribute of the ActionBar style:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBarStyle" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">#drawable/my_stacked_background</item>
</style>
or (If using ActionBarSherlock):
<style name="MyTheme" parent="#style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBarStyle" parent="#style/Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">#drawable/my_stacked_background</item>
<item name="backgroundStacked">#drawable/my_stacked_background</item>
</style>
To Change Actionbar Tab's color, Pls use this code:
//For Example if you want White color as Tabs background, then
getActionBar().setStackedBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF")));
In ActionBarSherlock's values/abs__themes.xml there is
<item name="actionModeSplitBackground">#drawable/abs__cab_background_bottom_holo_dark</item>
You have to create your own theme derived from ABS
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar">
<item name="actionModeSplitBackground">#drawable/my_split_background</item>
</style>
Hope this helps you.
ColorDrawable colorDrawable = new ColorDrawable(Color.White);
actionBar.SetStackedBackgroundDrawable(colorDrawable);
for xamarin folks.
To seperate styles depending on orientation you have to create in your /res folder a new folder called layout-land (for landscape mode) and layout-port (in portrait mode) and put your xml files for action bar and set it's specific style (with the color you want) on each folder.
