Overview

This module provides some extra functionality to configure the ActionBar that Titanium doesn't offer.

Features

• Title and Subtitle
• Sharing Action Provider
• Dropdown menu
• font: type, color, size, weight
• FontAwesome support for title, logo and menu
• and many more...

Installation

Get it

Download the latest distribution ZIP-file and consult the Titanium Documentation on how install it, or simply use the gitTio CLI:

$ gittio install com.alcoapps.actionbarextras

Using it

First require it:

var abx = require('com.alcoapps.actionbarextras');

At this point the feature for forcing the "menu overflow" has been attached to your Activity, so if that's the only thing you were looking for, you're set.

Now, you can set custom properties like this:

// NOTE: make sure that your window is open 
// before you access the actionbar with abx
win.addEventListener('open',function(e){
  // setting extras
  abx.title = "The Title";
  abx.titleFont = "Chunkfive.otf";
  abx.titleColor = "blue";
});
