I use in onCreate(): requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(getContentView()); getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.title_bar_1); And then I have an XML layout for the title. I know it works cause I also have an imageview in it and I can see it. However my TextView does not get the value from android:label, how can I do that? Thanks.
