Question

I want to make slide menu that has ActionBar like in Evernote. In this app, Seem like it has 2 ActionBars(I’m not sure about it). One at main and another one is in the sliding menu.

Is there anyway to build 2 ActionBars like this? Or it’s just a layout arrangement to resemble ActionBar look.

Thank for all your help and sorry for my english.

ps. I use ActionBarSherlock and SlidingMenu to achieve this, but I can’t find the way to do it like in Evernote.

Ok I managed to do it with the help of Gunnar Karlsson who pushed me in the right direction Instead of a SearchView

I implemented an ImageButton like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

 <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#333333" >

        <ImageButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
                android:layout_height="60dp" 
                android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
                android:onClick="showPopup" />

</LinearLayout>


<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:id="@android:id/list"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:paddingLeft="@dimen/list_padding"
   android:paddingRight="@dimen/list_padding" />

</LinearLayout>

and in the my mainActivity I simply pulled this from the google sample code for creating a pop up menu:

public void showPopup(View v) {
    PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);
    MenuInflater inflater = popup.getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.actions, popup.getMenu());
    popup.show();
}

And it worked. Thank you Gunnar Karlsson.
