[android-developers] Re: ActionBar with gradient background

Hi,

now I have found a pretty easy way to get a gradient background myself! :-)

Here is how it works

Create a XML file in drawable folder, its content should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle"
    android:useLevel="false" >
    <gradient
        android:startColor="#000000"
        android:endColor="#ffffff"
        android:useLevel="false"
        android:type="linear"
        android:angle="90" />
</shape>

Second step, adjust your styles.xml file in values folder and add following line to your ActionBar style:

<item name="android:background">@drawable/NAME_OF_CREATED_XML_FILE_WITHOUT_DOT_XML</item>

Now you should have an ActionBar which is black at the top and white at the bottom and transitions the color between bottom and top.

Have fun!

Hi,

I started developing an App for Android 2 months ago but there is one thing still annoying me:

I still haven't found a way to use a gradient background in my ActionBar! Is there any way to achieve this without using a background image?

I am looking forward to your help.
