Just don't use the title bar and design your own...

You can use Activity.AddMenuItem3 to add an icon to the title bar.

That works great, thanks Erel. For others I used

Activity.AddMenuItem3("MENU","ButtonMenu", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "menu.png"), True)

Does anyone know of a way to get the button I just added to appear on the left of the ActionBar please? I want to use it to control a fly out menu on the left.

Thank you

Menu items appear on the right side of the action bar. You can use StdActionBar library to add a custom view to the or to handle the "action bar main button" click event.

Thank you Erel.

I've hunted through various actionbar libraries and can't seem to find what I need. I looked through the google docs and realised I was trying to replicate the Navigation Drawer stuff in Android.

Now I know what it's called I had a quick google and found this

Don't miss this one: jfeinstein10 SlidingMenu library

Thanks Erel.

I had implemented that one, but it is missing the slide in and out 3 bar button at the top. This is used in Trello, YouTube, Google Play etc so I was looking to replicate that. The closest looks like the ActionDrawer lib, but that's not working for me at the moment.
