You cannot cover the ActionBar. You can use a global flag variable to decide whether you need to ignore the event or handle it.

Does this also mean that I cannot change any icons at runtime?

Thank you again..

You can change the action bar icon with StdActionBar.Icon.

Can I change the menuitem icons at runtime? If not is there a lib which will let me change a menu icon at runtime so I can indicate to the user of a change in a status?

Thank you

No. That is not possible. You can however add a custom view to the bar and then you will have full control over it.

Thank you for confirming Erel.. Any chance there is some code showing this or similar somewhere?

Thank you Erel

I have added this code into my app and have now got an icon in my action bar.. The icon shows on the left after the action bar title but all of my other icons are on the right. How can I move the icon across to the right and do you suggest to use this method for all of my icons instead of the addmenuitem etc?

Thank you!

edtTeste.Initialize("")
edtTeste.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"ic_restore_white_24dp.png"))
Dim jo As JavaObject = ActionBar
jo = jo.GetField("bar")
jo.RunMethod("setDisplayShowCustomEnabled", Array As Object(True))
jo.RunMethod("setCustomView", Array As Object(edtTeste))
edtTeste.Width = 4%y
End Sub

Try to add a panel and then add the icons to the panel. Yes, you should add such buttons instead of the standard menu items if you want to replace them at runtime.
