Getting Started

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:

1. 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)

2. Layout -

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

3. 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.
