In the previous post, we dealt with theming tabs in the Android ActionBar. The ActionBar provides an alternate type of navigation – a drop-down list. You can specifically request this via:
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);
or you can sometimes unexpectedly find yourself in this situation if you try to create a lot of tabs, since Android may choose to convert tab navigation to list navigation on itself. In this post, we’ll focus on how to theme the ActionBar components that are involved in list navigation.
