From which I have put together a test application that I am using to try and get the menu items to change. It uses all the default values for an app created in the eclipse android plugin, except for the following.


The application compiles and runs. The styling for the action bar title text works perfectly (is that lovely shade of pink #F0F I've defined). The menu items do not change appear but with default styling (holo light).


My guess is that you have to also style the views that are generated from the menu information in your onCreateOptionsMenu(). The styling you applied so far is working, but I doubt that the menu items, when rendered with text use a style that is the same as the title part of the ActionBar.


New to android and don't know if this is how it is.I used margin just to pull this down, as you can see below. But this doesn't sound correct to me... please throw some light where am I going wrong. Thanks in Advance.


Another possible solution for many who see this question is to change the parent layout of the toolbar to LinearLayout (likely with a vertical orientation), as this type of layout does not allow its children to overlap.


I have just begun to learn Android coding and I want to disable the default action bar that is at the upper rim of my main activity and replace it by a toolbar that is customizable. I looked at this webpage and followed the instructions: -up


Modify styles.xml and use a NoActionBar theme which extends from AppCompat. As for the white space between the toolbar and the status bar, you may fix it by removing the margin_top property of the toolbar. It is also advisable to use ?attr/actionBarSize for the height of toolbars for compatibility among different screen sizes. Toolbars should also match their parent's width with no margins between them. I've updated your code below.


Now everything is displayed but my problem is that when I click on card_menu item where I define sub menus and also define action layout. It's not showing those sub menus. My other menu items are working properly. Only when I define action layout for my item which contains sub menus that I am not able to display sub-menu. If I remove action layout it works fine.


I'm trying to setup functionality for a user to use the Android camera app to scan a QR code to open my Android app. If the user doesn't have my app installed, the fallback is to open a webpage that will prompt them to get it.


Any idea what I'm doing wrong? There are a few other asks here on Stack Overflow from people trying to do something similar, but they're using custom schemes with unusual formatting, and I'm just using plain old https.


Additionally, following the instructions here: -deep-links-might-be-broken-web-intents-and-android-12/...I created an assetlinks.json file and added it to our backend. (Thanks to CommonsWare and Anisur for that tip!). I'd thought that the assetlinks.json only served to make your app the default for opening those kinds of links (skipping the app browser), but apparently as of Android 12 it's mandatory.


I'd tried those (and a whole bunch of other things) individually and in various combinations, but this is the combination that finally made it work; assetlinks.json on the backend, and android:pathPrefix="/" in the intent-filter (along with all those other things in the intent-filter).


My android app uses the code below to allow users to back up an important file. A number of applications, including Google Drive, appear as suitable services to handle the file, but Dropbox does not appear, even though it offers the same functionality as Google Drive. Could you please change Dropbox so that it appears and my users can access it in this way?


Thanks for the response. Using "application/*" appears to have soled the upload issue. Is there any good reason that "file/*" is not supported? Many android code samples recommend "file/*' for non-standard file types and my first impulse on not seeing Dropbox n the list was actually to tell my users to use Google Drive instead of Dropbox.


I have been unable to test the integrity of the uploaded file because Dropbox is producing another problem on attempted download (a problem I did not face with Google Drive) - but I will post that as a separate issue.


Hi there, it is not so much an official recommendation as a common feature of code snippets provided at places like Stack Exchange. Since it works well with lots of other apps (email, Google Drive, and so on), DropBox is the odd one out. The use of 'application' seems to be a fine substitute, but some developers will not bother looking for a DropBox-specific solution.


Actually, looking around now, it does not seem to be common. I think I picked up 'file/*' from snippets provided for getting content, not sending content, but then combined it with other snippets designed for sending plain text or images. My specific requirement is that I wanted an all-purpose attachment/upload service, not one restricted to any known file type, and 'application/*' achieves this. The thing is, the above code worked immediately for a wide range of apps/services, so I almost stopped at that point and assumed DropBox was not willing to play ball.


I guess if you respond to */* that should be enough to satisfy other developers who try file/*, but in truth there might not be many. If there is no reason not to respond to */*, though, you might as well be flexible. DropBox doesn't seem to care what type of file it is, so why filter it?


Anyone know why my action bar/ my android title bar is missing when I extends Activity? All this while it is working fine and the action bar/ title activity is being shown on the activity whenever I used extend activity. I have been using extend activity for a very long time, but today when I click on create new Project to create a new android activity and extends activity, the action bar/ android title went missing. I have been searching for quite some time now and still unable to find the reason that causes this. How to fix this?


The reason why you don't see the ActionBar is that it is hidden by default in the compat style. So you would need to change the style to something different in your manifest. But I would suggest you to use the compat library. That makes the compatibility much more easy.


ActionBar is deprecated ever since Toolbar was introduced. Toolbar can be seen as a 'superset' of any action bar. So the 'old' ActionBar is now an example of a Toolbar. If you want similar functionality, but without deprecation warnings do the following:


I just updated the Evernote app on my Android smartphone at some point the past week or so, and the Widget/Evernote Action Bar is now 4x2.

Personally, I prefer a tighter display on my devices.

I'm really not a fan of a the additional padding around the widget/action bar.

I'm finding it a tremendous waste of space, but more importantly, it's jacked up the layout of my other widgets and icons.


Can we get a 4x1 option like before?

I don't mind a 4x2 as an option, but I prefer the 4x1. I'm trying to find a backup on one of my devices of an earlier version of the Evernote app to try to restore.


I see no need for the extra space/padding. It's bloated and wasteful imho.

Lots of developers offer different size widget options for their apps - can Evernote do this, too, please? Offer a widget size like previously available?


Hang on, though. On my phone there are in fact three widgets: the 4x2 list with action bar on top, the 4x1 action bar alone, and the 1x1 actions button. Do you only have the 4x2? Or are you saying that the 4x1 is functionally 2 high? For me, it seems normal height.


Can you try pulling your available 4x1 widget over to a screen and see whether it's actually functional?

I had the 4x1 on screen there for a while, though not showing up in widget choices, but it was showing blank, and I think it said unsupported or was just unresponsive when I tried to use it.


I'm still a little confused if you have 3 options and none of them is a 4x1. Here are two screenshots, the first showing a home screen with all 3 of the widgets, 1x1, 4x1, and 4x2. The second shows the Evernote widget menu itself.


Through some troubleshooting/experimentation, I was able to figure it out over the weekend. It was related to the Android Launcher I was using, an older one called Catapult, a port of Trebuchet from Cyanogenmod. The app hasn't been updated since 2015. Never really had any trouble with Catapult, but I'd been meaning to move to Nova Launcher for additional tweakability.


Beautiful, glad it's worked out! @msgvb, you are a man after my own heart (and beard). Your experience is exactly why I've never rooted a phone or used an alternative launcher--because I know I would end up galloping down just this kind of rabbit trail. Thank you for confirming me in my brutal self-denial.


Actionable notifications are a unique type of notification as they allow the user to add buttons to the notification which can then send an event to Home Assistant once clicked. This event can then be used in an automation allowing you to perform a wide variety of actions. These notifications can be sent to either iOS or Android.


Icons for notification actions are only allowed from the SF Symbols library, which is different than other icons in Home Assistant which come from Material Design Icons library. This is due to limitations placed on these actions from Apple.


To navigate to a frontend page, use the format /lovelace/test where test is replaced by your defined path in the defined view. If you plan to use a dashboard the format would be /lovelace-dashboard/view where /lovelace-dashboard/ is replaced by your defined dashboard URL and view is replaced by the defined path within that dashboard.
