Hello, i also want to create a "back button" which is always on the toplayer and visible.
For the case that the button hides important areas on the display, it should moveable and transparent.
If you touch for a short time, it goes back to the next higher level. The end should be the home-screen.
And if you touch for a longer time you can move the button from any to another position.
In the Attachment you can see the sample.
But in the sample, the button isn´t transparent.

I have some experience with java and c++ unter win-XP but no with android.
Do somebody have an advice?

Much greetings rom4o

Hi Darolla,

can you please share how to create that "back button with bar",what you have shown in iphone's settings screenshot.

i understood the whole flow of what is done by darolla,but when i insert the same logic or even same code my title bar gets cropped in emulator while if i see the preview it looks perfect.please look at attachement.

what i need is the same tiltle bar as in iphone's settings screen with same back button.

Dorolla,

Thanks a ton for attaching all your files for reference. Was very helpful in understanding your approach.

Mr Snowflake, many thanks for the info.

@enggvipin.singh: its done using themeing.

check styles.xml and theme.xml to understand what I am doing.

using manifest to make use of the theme.

your titlebar is "too small" because you are using the standard theme by default

greetings you all,
darolla

ps: android handles transparency very well. so if you have some problems, just take a look at your .png file. the problem seems to be there...

Hey Darolla,

Thanks for the detailed information on creating custom title bars.

I tried using your approach but in styles.xml while using @android:color, I get a "@android:color" is not correctly spelt error.

What could be the reason for this ?

I am trying something similar to what you have done.

LOL, I was coding into the wee hours of the morning and couldn't differentiate between grammar checker(english grammar) and compiler grammar checker!

The android:color tag worked and thanks to your in-depth xml, java, screenshots and info - it worked for me!

thanks a TON, Darolla!!

@enggvipin.singh

I got exactly the same problem (background image messed up in title bar)

Turns out, I did everything right but forgot to use the theme in AndroidManifest!
