In Android, mostly we see the activity with normal title bar i.e. Activity name in Title bar but here i am going to present how do we change the title bar text and title bar image (Background image, icon with text).
From my point of view, there are 2 ways to change the title bar text:
- Normal way
you can Change the Title of each screen (i.e. Activity) by setting their Android:label.
- Custom Title bar Text and Image
But if you want to Customize title-bar in your way, i.e. Want to put Image icon and custom-text, then following code is running for me:
main.xml
titlebar.xml
TitleBar.java
public class TitleBar extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final boolean customTitleSupported = requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
if ( customTitleSupported ) {
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.titlebar);
}
final TextView myTitleText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTitle);
if ( myTitleText != null ) {
myTitleText.setText(“NEW TITLE”);
// user can also set color using “Color” and then “Color value constant”
// myTitleText.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
}
}
}
strings.xml
The strings.xml file is defined under the values folder.
