setActionbarImage makes the app close

[krem06]

Hi there,

I am trying to use your module in my alloy project and so far it works great ! The only thing is that when I try to change the Icon, the app just exit without any specific error: abx.setActionbarImage({ image: 'test.png' });

• Should I place the png in the assets folder ?
• I am using android:targetSdkVersion="23", could it be the problem ?

Try using this sizes for the density independent images:

res-mdpi:    48 x 48
res-hdpi:    72 x 72
res-xhdpi:   96 x 96
res-xxhdpi:  144 x 144
res-xxxhdpi: 192 x 192

It must not be squares but I think the height matters (Should be 48dp).

abx.setActionbarImage({ image: '/images/test.png' }); will load the images from the /assets/android/images/res-*dpi directories.

That error should be catched. So I'll leave this open as a bug.

No luck with the fix but now I'm getting the following error:

[INFO] : ActionbarextrasModule: (main) [267,2101] The image reference is a String object.

On the appcelerator actionbar page there is a comment about latest sdk and how they deal with the icon in action bar:

In modern Android UIs developers should lean more on a visually distinct color scheme for toolbars than on their application icon. The use of application icon plus title as a standard layout is discouraged on API 21 devices and newer.

Could it be the reason ?

Are you trying to set the title with abx.setTitle() ? From the log it seems that this is failing as there is no title since setActionbarImage() explicitly removes the title.

[krem06]

If I add the setTitle() function then the app exit with no error...

After a long 4h fight I got it ! I had some errors in my syntax but also didn't properly use the module as I tried to add it in a tabgroup... But in the end I found the right syntax for my case:

$.tabGroup.open();

$.tabGroup.addEventListener("open", function() {
    if (Ti.Platform.osname === "android") {
        if (!$.tabGroup.activity) {
            Ti.API.error("Can't access action bar on a lightweight window.");
        } else {
            var abx = require('com.alcoapps.actionbarextras');
            abx.window = $.tabGroup;

            actionBar = $.tabGroup.activity.actionBar;
            if (actionBar) {
                actionBar.displayHomeAsUp = true;
                abx.setTitle("Example");
                abx.setHomeAsUpIcon('/images/logo.png');
            }

        }
    }
});

Thank you for the help ;)
