Android Question AddMenuItem with logo file

[Picon]

Hi everyone

My goal is to add a png logo to the menu bar. I experimentally moved the logo to the center using empty spaces - see code line 6:

    Dim mi As B4AMenuItem = B4XPages.AddMenuItem(Me, "2")
    mi.AddToBar = True
    'mi.Bitmap = xui.LoadBitmapResize(File.DirAssets, "blue_01A.png", 129, 80, False)
    mi.Bitmap = xui.LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "blue.png")
     
    mi = B4XPages.AddMenuItem(Me, "                       ")
    mi.AddToBar = True
     
    mi = B4XPages.AddMenuItem(Me, "Setings")
    mi.AddToBar = True

Is there any other method to add a png file to the menu bar in the center?

The image is barely visible, and trying to resize it didn't produce the desired results. My original png file is 4084 x 2534 pixels (156KB), so it's large, and in the menu, you practically have to look at it through a magnifying glass.

Does anyone have any ideas?

thank you so much for the quick reply...
For B4A, "cs As CSBuilder" is perfect. It works and is exactly what I was looking for.

However, as always, there's always a problem:

In B4A, there's no "cs.Image" option. You can load png files from the designer, but there are only five options: Top Right #1 ... #5
None of them completely displays the image on the left or in the center.

Upload an example that demonstrates what you want to do.

Hello, You can’t truly center or enlarge a PNG in the default menu bar — Android auto-scales menu icons to ~24–32 dp. To control size and position, create a custom Toolbar or Panel and add an ImageView for your logo instead.
