AppCompat Actionbar styling

Question

I\'m currently trying to use AppCompat instead of ActionbarSherlock. On Android 4+ devices I don\'t run into any problems, as the normal Actionbar and Holo theme are used.

Answer 1

To show custom icon & color in AppCompatActivity we can paste this code:

values/styles.xml

values-v14/styles.xml

You can use your custom background picture as well from @drawable/your_pic.png

To show app icon & Text you also paste this to your activity.

        // set action Bar icon & Text
    ActionBar mActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    mActionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE
            | ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM | ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME);
