I am trying to add a button to title bar but I couldn't succeed. I have read many articles about this but they all explain the way that doesn't fit my situation. I am using ScrollView to make the screen scrollable. but articles suggest me to use linear layout. How can I make it scrollable and have a button on the title bar?
here is my XML
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#C0C0C0"
android:id="@+id/sw_layout">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:id="@+id/ln_layout">
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft=<"@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" >
.........................
.........................
.........................
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
And in my MainActivity, I have this code....
LinearLayout ln = (LinearLayout) getWindow().findViewById(R.id.ln_layout);
Button btn = new Button(this);
btn.setText("Test");
ln.addView(btn);
But this doesn't display anything and it doesn't give me any error. Please give me an idea. how can I add the button to title bar?
make title.xml and design your title : place button etc
on activity
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
this.getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.title);
you will access to elements on title the same way you do on main layout .using findviewbyid
for avoiding some look problems
<style name="theme">
<item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/themeTitleBackground</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleSize">65dip</item>
</style>
<style name="themeTitleBackground">
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
</style>
inside androidmanifest
<activity android:theme="@style/theme"
