Combining Listactivity And Actionbaractivity

I am currently building for a minimum SDK of 10, so I have to use the android-support-v7-appcompat library to implement ActionBar. I have setup the ActionBar, but I want to now add

Solution 1:

ListActivity hasn't been ported to AppCompat. Probably because you should consider it 'deprecated', and instead use a ListFragment.

Fragments will work with a ActionBarActivity, just make sure they are fragments from the support library.

Have a read through this link about fragments.

For your use case, I would just define the fragment in xml.

Solution 2:

The easiest way to do this is to use a ListFragment inside of the ActionBarActivity. I did it like this:

publicclassMyActivityextendsActionBarActivity {
    publicvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

        MyFragmentfragment=newMyFragment();
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content, fragment).commit();
    }

    publicbooleanonOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
            case android.R.id.home: {
                finish();
                break;
            }

            default: {
                break;
            }
        }
        returntrue;
    }

    publicstaticclassMyFragmentextendsListFragment {

        publicvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            ...
        }

        publicvoidonListItemClick(ListView listView, View view, int position, long id) {
            ...
        }
    }
}

This way you don't even need an xml for it, and it works well.
