Getting Started

THIS IS OBSOLETE

It is easy to get started with MonoDroid.ActionBar.

After downloading the MonoDroid.ActionBar from GitHub you will want to integrate it into your existing project.

There are 2 main Directories that you will want to copy:

1. ActionBar - contains core action bar framework files
2. ActionBareBase - contains base activities that all activities should derive from

Besides that you will want to copy in all of the Resource files that MonoDroid.ActionBar uses:

Drawable - buttons and required images

• actionbar_back_indicator.png (from all drawable directories)
• actionbar_background.xml
• actionbar_btn.xml + actionbar_btn_pressed.xml + actionbar_btn_normal.xml
• bottomactionbar_background.xml
• bottomactionbar_btn.xml + bottomactionbar_btn_normal.xml + bottomactionbar_btn_pressed.xml
• ic_overflow_dark.png (overflow icon, from all drawable directories)

Layout -

• ActionBar.axml
• ActionBar_Item.axml
• BlankSpinner.axml
• OverflowActionBar_Item.axml
• SpinnerItem.axml

Values

• Attrs.xml
• Colors.xml
• Dimens.xml (recommended you use all Value-x files)
• Styles.xml

After importing all of these files you should be good go to. Now you should be able to do a Find and Replace All on "MonoDroid.ActionBarSample" and replace it with your namespace if you so desire.
