  1. POhow to override default title with custom title in android
    text
    copied!<p>I have designed a custom title bar for my application. It works well for me too. But there is a problem. The default title is seen (for just a second), before my custom title bar overrides it. Is there any solution to disable the default title bar which android provides?</p> <p>My codes were like...</p> <p>window_title.xml in res/layout</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/myTitle" android:text="custom title bar" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:textColor="@color/titletextcolor" android:gravity ="center"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>color.xml in res/values</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;resources&gt; &lt;style name="customTheme" parent="android:Theme"&gt; &lt;item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle"&gt;@style/WindowTitleBackground &lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>styles.xml in res/values</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;resources&gt; &lt;color name="titlebackgroundcolor"&gt;#303010&lt;/color&gt; &lt;color name="titletextcolor"&gt;#FFFF00&lt;/color&gt; &lt;/resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>themes.xml in res/values</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;resources&gt; &lt;style name="WindowTitleBackground"&gt; &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;@color/titlebackgroundcolor&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>And i had also updated my manifest.xml's activity, as</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.title" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" &gt; &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /&gt; &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:theme="@style/customTheme" android:label="@string/app_name" &gt; &lt;activity android:name=".CustomTitleActivity" android:theme="@style/customTheme" &gt; &lt;intent-filter &gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre> <p>and on my onCreate method i had done like..</p> <pre><code>super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE); setContentView(R.layout.main); getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE,R.layout.window_title); final TextView myTitle = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTitle); myTitle.setText("Converter"); </code></pre> <p>And this works well too</p> <p>I had coded as in <code>http://www.edumobile.org/android/android-programming-tutorials/creating-a-custom-title-bar/</code> and it works well too..</p> <p>Is there anyway to disable the default title that comes first?</p>
