Hi, I have a TabActivity. Each tab hosts its own activity. I wanted to use a custom titlebar. I don't believe it's possible to access the custom titlebar from the child activities:
// main tab activity public class MainTabActivity extends TabActivity { protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE); setContentView(R.layout.my_content); getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.my_header); } } I cannot move custom titlebar creation into the child activities, moving the above 3 lines into a child activity will throw an AndroidRuntimeException: "You cannot combine custom titles with other title features" I can only think of two possible solutions: 1) Replace tab activities with tab views - too late to do that now. 2) Create the custom header bar in the main tab activity as above. Let children activities broadcast a message that the main tab activity can catch when they want some part of the custom titlebar to change (like starting a progress bar etc). Any other possible solutions here? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
