Set Title Gravity To Center In Actionbarsherlock

Hello I would like to apply a custom Backgroundlayout just for my Main Activity. I couldn't find a solution. Can somebody give me some tips? would like to have just a simple TextV

Solution 1:

You have to set a custom layout for the Actionbar like this:

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM); 
getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.yourlayout);

In your layout you can then add a TextView and set its gravity to center. E.g.:

<LinearLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:background="#000000"><TextViewandroid:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_gravity="center"android:text="Header!"android:id="@+id/mytext"android:textColor="#ffffff"android:textSize="25dp" /></LinearLayout>

Then you can set your custom typefont inside your Activity from your assets like this:

TextViewtxt= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mytext);  
 Typefacefont= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "yourfont.ttf");  
 txt.setTypeface(font);
