I am working on an application that involves me having to place a toolbar

  • 0

I am working on an application that involves me having to place a toolbar at the bottom of each activity. The toolbar will have 4 buttons on it, each starting new activities.

I am just wondering, and I apologize for how general the question, is there a proper way to go about implementing this? my plan was to but a linear layout element in each xml layout file with horizontal orientation. Then four button elements inside of that…

It seems like a huge amount of work considering I will have a lot of activities..

    What you want sounds a lot like Android’s ActionBar. Check this link for a guide to its usage. If you use this, your app will look and feel more consistent with the operating system, as so many apps now use the ActionBar (which is a lot of them), and you gain a lot of power for what you want to show there, and how you want to do it.

    ActionBar was only introduced in Android version 3 (Honeycomb), but there’s a compatibility library, ActionBarSherlock which allows you to use it in older versions of Android as well.

    Hope it works for you!
