How to install it like it was in B4A?
Only B4XMainPage needs this.

Search the forum.

B4X:

Sub B4XPage_Appear
    ShowHideIcon(True)
    txtUser.Text = ""
End Sub

Sub B4XPage_Disappear
    ShowHideIcon(False)
End Sub

Sub ShowHideIcon (Show As Boolean)
    Dim StdAB As StdActionBar
    StdAB.Initialize("StdAB")
    If Show Then
        Dim AndroidResources1 As AndroidResources
        Dim Mydrawable1 As BitmapDrawable
        Mydrawable1 = AndroidResources1.GetApplicationDrawable("icon")
        StdAB.Icon = Mydrawable1.Bitmap
    Else
        StdAB.Icon = Null
        StdAB.ShowUpIndicator = False
    End If
End Sub

Hide Action Bar logo/Icon

Hi there, I am new to B4A and android programming, so this may already have been asked previously, but I am unable to find the answer to this. Can someone tell me if it is possible to hide the application icon when displaying the action bar? I want to be able to display the activity label...

just a question

would not it be simpler to put a panel on the top page and an imageview with your icon. it looks like you want something to be done in the UI why do you need to do it this way?

just use a panel and an imageview thats it

This is what I also thought of but I guess the OP is asking about the way he used to do during the older days.

In my current projects, I am using panel and it is much easier to do the design.

Sergey_New · Nov 3, 2023

Thank you all so much for your help!
In my project with B4A, I used my own panel, which I used when installing each page

B4X:

#Region Activity Attributes
#FullScreen: False
#IncludeTitle: False
#End Region

Now I decided to try to transfer the project to B4XPage.
It turned out that using the proposed panels in B4XPage is quite difficult. I think I'll keep my approach the same.

Did you do as I described above?

you are not using b4xpages for no reason. the whole idea is to make it cross platform so the only way to do it cross platform is using a simple panel and an imageview.
like this it will work on b4a/b4i/b4j

i dont understand why you try so hard to choose the complicated way and not choosing the simple and right way to archive what you are asking.

just to learn: Wouldn't just Imageview be enough?
Why is the panel also needed?

I started this topic with something simple as it seemed to me, adding, an icon.
In general, I have several Views on my panel.

#FullScreen: False

I usually use FullScreen: True

By using a panel, you can add imageview, labels or any kinf of views into it, set the Elevation so it can show shadow or make it look like a Title bar.

I normally like to separate my ui to parts. Top panel middle panel bottom panel etc. some panels are fix some changes.. so it is more organized like this. Like u do with html element <div>

it is also simpler like this for screen size scaling

How do you install your panel to overlap the Activity panel?

If it is Full screen then there is no title bar.

On my smartphone with
#FullScreen: True
#IncludeTitle: True
the title bar is visible.

klaus · Nov 3, 2023

To get full screen, you must set
#IncludeTitle: False

That’s what I do, I wrote above.

aeric · Nov 3, 2023

B4X:

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: True
    #IncludeTitle: False
#End Region

Post #25 contains my working option.
Why is he worse?

Sorry, I don't get it.
Are you asking why your code not work or mine?
Either you or me need a new glasses.

Let's try without glasses
In message #29 you said that you use FullScreen: True, without mentioning that #IncludeTitle: False is also needed.
This misled me.

aeric said:

Your and my options work correctly.
In the last message I wanted to clarify which option is better - yours or mine and for what reason.

aeric · Nov 3, 2023

Okay. You win. If that is what you are looking for.
I am not going to argue further. Sorry for the misleading answers.
