contextual-action-bar

I'm trying to implement the contextual action bar in my app. I'm extending a ListFragment and I have a custom ArrayAdapter and list item xml defined. Clicking on items works fine and the background color changes on the list item. Where I'm running into trouble is when selecting multiple items. The contextual action bar comes up and I can tell I'm actually selecting items when I touch them because I'm having it log which items are selected, but the background highlight color on the list item does not change! It seems like some other people were running into this problem when using the Fragments

I have some weird behavior in the contextual action bar. Firstly: One menu item is only shown every second time I click on the overflow button: Secondly / thirdly: Is there a way that the icons do not use so much space? When I change add property android:showAsAction="always" to all items, there is actually enough space to show all icons - but my share icon is not clickable anymore: Clean Project does not help.

I want Android to decide how much space there is for the icons. I just want there to be more space by removing the blank area that is reserved for a title. UPDATE Things I have tried: ActionMode.setCustomView(null) ActionMode

My use case: I have an activity with a ViewPager as its only view element, set up with three Fragment s for its three pages (using a FragmentPagerAdapter ). One of these fragments is a ListFragment , while the other two regular Fragment s containing some infographics. The list in the ListFragment allows "checking" elements, and checking elements brings up the contextual action bar, presenting a list of actions possible on the selected/checked items. My problem: When I select a couple of list items, the CAB shows up. But when I switch pages, the CAB stays visible, presenting the actions. To

I've got a silly little problem. I've registered a ListFragment both as OnItemClickListener and OnItemLongClickListener of its own ListView . When the onItemClick event is called, an intent for the detail view activity of that item is started, no problems there. When the onItemLongClick event happens, I want to accomplish the following things: Create a CAB Keep the long-pressed item selected Code: @Override public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { if(this.cabMode != null) return false; this.cabMode = getActivity().startActionMode
