Question

I am trying to use a custom title to include an image button to the title bar.
I got a lot of help form this post: android: adding button to the title of the app?, but could not get it work for my ListActivity.

In a nutshell, following is what I have:

1. I hide the titlebar in the AndroidManifest.xml

2. The specify a relative layout for the custom title (workorder_list_titlebar.xml)

3. My Activity Class looks like the following:

    public class WorkOrderListActivity extends ListActivity {
     String[] orders={"WO-12022009", "WO-12302009","WO-02122010", "02152010"};
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);   
       requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
       this.getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.workorder_list_titlebar);
       setContentView(R.layout.workorder_list);
       setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,R.layout.workorder_list, R.id.label,orders));    
            }
    }

When I ran the app, I got AndroidRuntimeException: You cannot combine custom titles with other title features.

Base on the stack trace, the exception was thrown by com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.requestFeature(PhoneWindow.java:183), that was triggered by setlistAdapter call.

Does anyone have the same problem with ListActivity?
Also once I manage to get this work, how do I attach listeners to the image button for it to do something?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue and I fix it deleting

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>

from my theme.xml
