Question

Is there any easy way to change the home icon layout (margins, padding, background) in ActionBarSherlock that isn’t a total hack? Right now, in onCreate, I am essentially finding the home icon by id, and setting the params. This works ok, but in a situation where I have an expandable view, and expanding it triggers the creation of a new, separate homeview, I would have to figure out how to manipulate that as well.

I am getting into the territory where I have to start subclassing the abs classes just to accomplish this. Is there an easier way?

Answer 1

You can try modifying abs__home ImageView parameters in the abs__action_bar_home.xml from res/layout in the ABS sources.

Having said that, it’s, probably, not a very good idea to modify home icon layout..
