ActionBar with action times but no title

[Matt Reilly]

Great library!

Any idea how to duplicate the functionality that is found throughout the people app? The action bar is simply two buttons. I guess I could remove the action bar completely and do my own thing, but I was wondering if ABS had this function.

[Carlos Silva]

Sure, just use "showInActionBar = never"

Doesn't seem to make any difference in my app... It just stays in the regular spot?

[Jake Wharton]

That is an action mode as far as I can tell. Have a look at the action mode example in the demos sample app. Try it with the light theme and you should get almost exactly what you have in that picture.

Thanks Jake! Always appreciated.

Just an update here.

Looks like google creates a custom view for the actionbar. If anybody is interested, the source code for the calendar app has a good example:

you can change the check mark with :

getActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(resId)

getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

getActivity().setTitle("Done");

and then listen for it being clicked in your  onOptionsItemSelected with the id of : android.R.id.home
