android-actionbaractivity

I have two fragments in an activity. When fragment A is showing, I want the navigation drawer burger icon to show and the navigation drawer to work. When fragment B is showing, I want the back arrow to show and when it's clicked do an up navigation. However, I can't seem to get the new AppCompat v7 toolbar to show the up arrow at all inside my ActionBarActivity unless the nav drawer is open. In my activity, for my onCreate() method I have... toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); if (toolbar != null) { setSupportActionBar(toolbar); } mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id

I am trying to change the theme of my app completely, This is what I modified & tried : styles.xml in values folder is <resources> <!-- Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices. --> <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo"> <!-- Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to backward-compatibility can go here. --> </style> <!-- Application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <!-- All

I am using a toolbar from v7.widget.Toolbar support library and v7.app.ActionBarActivity. When the onCreateOptionsMenu is inflated on the toolbar, I see a standard "Back" arrow on the leftmost side of the toolbar and standard "Overflow" dots on the rightmost portion of the toolbar. I would like to hide or disable these default icons and replace with another set of Android recommended icons. Any ideas on how to fix? MyActiviy.java: public class MyActivity extends ActionBarActivity { private Toolbar toolbar; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate

Working from this android example, I've attempted to create an app that uses the support version (android.support.v4 and android.support.v7). The example creates a menu drawer that looks like this and my code gets this Notice the icon is different and the way it moves is different, well in my version it doesn't move. Example code public class MainActivity extends Activity { private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout; private ListView mDrawerList; private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle; private CharSequence mDrawerTitle; private CharSequence mTitle; private String[] mPlanetTitles; @Override
