Android Question Caption bar convention

junglejet · May 18, 2014

There seems to be some kind of caption bar convention for newer Android apps. These consist of a

menu button (half hamburger) or logo to the left of the caption bar with a left arrow to return to the previous level
some icons to the right
some space for text or an input field in the middle.

Is this something that can easily be setup in B4A by a module or lib? Or must I start from scratch rebuilding it?

Not mentioning the blueish bar color, which also seems to be some sort of convention.

Are you referring to the action bar?

See StdActionBar library (though it will show without this library as well).

Thank you,
I quess this is what I've been looking for.
Unfortunately finding libs with the search function is sometimes difficult.

You don't need any library to show the standard action bar. Just make sure that androidSdkVersion is set to 14 in the manifest editor (this is the default value for new projects).

About the search engine, use the filters to find libraries: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=action+bar&page=1&prefix=1
