Yes this question has been asked before. Two times actually,
ActionBar - custom view with centered ImageView, Action Items on sides
ActionBar logo centered and Action items on sides
Yes I have thoroughly read both and it works except, I cant figure out how to put items to the LEFT of the image. To quote from the second link:
Of course, make sure you also do the other necessary setups for the Action items in your menu xml's as well. This will be for any right-sided action items.
Not much help. This doesn't apply to placement:
To take control of the left action item, you could do this in your Activity:
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.yourRightActionItem:
//do something
return true;
case android.R.id.home: //<-- this will be your left action item
// do something
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
I have tried many things, but never can get buttons to the left. Can someone clear this up for me?
