  1. POAndroid ActionBar - Push custom view to bottom of screen
    text
    copied!<p>I've got a split ActionBar, and I'm trying to add functionality almost identical to google play's 'Now playing'..</p> <p>I can get menu items to appear at the bottom of the screen, using the onCreateOptionsMenu, but I can't seem to get a custom view to appear at the bottom of the screen when using actionBar.setCustomView. The custom view just sits underneath the top ActionBar.</p> <p>Does anyone know how to force the customview to the bottom, or to add custom views to the onCreateOptionsMenu?</p> <p>Here are the snippets of my code:</p> <pre><code>public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true); actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM); //Custom view to add actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.albumitem); //This view shows up just under the top actionbar at the moment, despite menu items being at the bottom </code></pre> <p>The menu options code: (These are showing down the bottom where I'd like my custom view to be)</p> <pre><code>@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { new MenuInflater(this).inflate(R.menu.option_menu, menu); return (super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)); } </code></pre> <p>I believe that the now playing menu at the bottom of the google play music app is a custom view inside a split action bar:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sI1a4.jpg" alt="Google Play Music"></p>
