Is it possible to change Action Bar "Up" icon to button (text + background image, like Back button on iOS), so I'll be able to change caption?
I know that I can use my own icon, but I need to change button caption programmaticaly.

@Tech.Rahul thanks, but by "programmaticaly" I meant something like `setText()` instead of redrawing icon :) – Dmitry Zaytsev Sep 26 '12 at 13:09

sorry you cant do with imagebutton, you have to take Button b1, b1.setText("your text"); then create a style.xml make for button shape – Rahul Baradia Sep 26 '12 at 13:16

@Tech.Rahul well, question is - how to replace icon in Action Bar with my button? – Dmitry Zaytsev Sep 26 '12 at 13:18

You should use setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false)
and then getActionBar().setCustomView(v); where View v will be your button and custom title.
I think there is only this way.

1This is works (tested on ActionBarSherlock) as expected, thanks :) **BUT** you should call `getActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM)` before using custom view. – Dmitry Zaytsev Dec 03 '12 at 08:46
