ListActivity no layout

[jmawebtech]

Hi, how do I add the action bar to an activity where I have no layout file? If I have a class inheriting from list activity how do I use your solution?

Just like you would do with any other Android View, you can instantiate it something like:

var ab = new LegacyBar(this);
ab.LayoutParameters = new LayoutParameters(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FillContent, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WrapContent);
AddView(ab);

I haven't tested the code above and I suspect there might be some typos and additionally you will need to set some dimensions of the items inside the LegacyBar as well. We are looking into injecting the LegacyBar into views instead of having to manually declare it every time.

I will try to give you an better code snipping later today.

I do not recommend this though...
You should inherit from LegacyBarListActivity and your layout would be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/legacybar.sample"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
   <legacybar.library.bar.LegacyBar
        android:id="@+id/actionbar"
        style="@style/actionbar"
        ab:title="Cool beans!"/>
    <ListView
        android:id="@+android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
