Add a listener that will respond to menu visibility change events.

Parameters
listener The new listener to add

public void addTab (ActionBar.Tab tab, int position)

Add a tab for use in tabbed navigation mode. The tab will be inserted at position. If this is the first tab to be added it will become the selected tab.

Parameters
tab The tab to add
position The new position of the tab

Add a tab for use in tabbed navigation mode. The tab will be added at the end of the list. If this is the first tab to be added it will become the selected tab.

Parameters
tab Tab to add

public void addTab (ActionBar.Tab tab, boolean setSelected)

Add a tab for use in tabbed navigation mode. The tab will be added at the end of the list.

Parameters
tab Tab to add
setSelected True if the added tab should become the selected tab.

public void addTab (ActionBar.Tab tab, int position, boolean setSelected)

Add a tab for use in tabbed navigation mode. The tab will be insterted at position.

Parameters
useLogo true to use the activity logo, false to use the activity icon.

public void setHomeAsUpIndicator (Drawable indicator)

Set an alternate drawable to display next to the icon/logo/title when DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP is enabled. This can be useful if you are using this mode to display an alternate selection for up navigation, such as a sliding drawer.

If you pass null to this method, the default drawable from the theme will be used.

If you implement alternate or intermediate behavior around Up, you should also call setHomeActionContentDescription() to provide a correct description of the action for accessibility support.

Parameters
indicator A drawable to use for the up indicator, or null to use the theme's default

public void setHomeAsUpIndicator (int resId)

Set an alternate drawable to display next to the icon/logo/title when DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP is enabled. This can be useful if you are using this mode to display an alternate selection for up navigation, such as a sliding drawer.

Parameters
enabled true to enable the home button, false to disable the home button.
