Question

I want to enable the home button in the Action bar. I’m using this code:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
            actionbar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
            actionbar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}

In this I’m using setHomeButtonEnabled and setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled to put a back mark at icon in ActionBar. If I use only setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled then also will it work? Is there a need to set setHomeButtonEnabled to true?

What is the difference between the two?

Answer 1

For what you want to do, actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) is enough.

For the difference :
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true) will just make the icon clickable, with the color at the background of the icon as a feedback of the click.
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) will make the icon clickable and add the < at the left of the icon.
