Action bar icons - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Is it possible to enable/disable action bar icons? The scenario is that on the action bar there are two search icons, but they do different jobs, one searches the contents of the app while the other filters the listview (searches the table of contents only)
So if a user only wanted to use only one search method, is it possible to make an option in the settings on the app to enable/disable action bar icons?
Thanks

It's possible but it can't be done by non developpers. I mean, you have to configure theme settings in android files to do what you want.
Anyway there are available themes on xda that add some functionality to the status toggles, you could look around. For example, the theme I'm using has 9 toggles on the status bar.
EDIT: I found this app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037817
It doesn't change the toggles that come in the notification bar (as I said you have to mess with android files for this) but it can make launcher's in the notiications panel. It looks pretty cool, maybe you should try it.

[app] Notification Toggle; power controls & more

I've been looking for a way to have power controls in the notification (slide/pull down thingy?) the SGS2 way.
An app, free on gplay, called Notification Toggle, NT, by a dev J4velin did the trick; I am using it and it's great.
Not only does it let you select from a variety of toggles, but it also offers to include shortcuts up there. Some toggles (Gps) require that you set it as a system app, thus require root, but most of the power controls don't. And you can also customize the toggle icons and such.
Naturally, it has to be running in the background and it's got a footprint of 8+ mb.
I notice some devs on this forum have come up with a flashable mod for that as well. But as I think it's only for deodexed ROMs. Anyways, it's always nice to have more options.
in my opinion widgetsoid its perfect - but pooup is terrible;/
so i us for few weeks notification toggle and icons from widgetsoid
It sounds like this, which we already have:

edit: re-read and understood that OP is trying to introduce this app that works the same way without flashing.

How do you change the icons to use the widgetsoid icons?
HP Touchpad CM9
i unpack widgetsoid apk by winrar - icons are inside app
you change icons with notification toogles - its there ICONS & COLORS - you must tap for icons and select from phone gallery
Awesome find!

Notification Toggle give me only 2 toggles, is there a way to select more options?
Or is this only via the payed app?
think I know what you mean
When you go to the next view in the app, the one titled Notifications, tick the "1st notification" and then LONG PRESS on it. This will allow you to SELECt the TOGGLES that the FIRST ARRAY OF Buttons in the NOTIFICATION tray will host.
I hope that helped
Merci!

[Q] Getting rid of Status Bar on 4.1

I need to get rid of the system bar on Android 4.1 tablets since the tablets will be in a commercial/retail environment and be used for business. My app will be the only app used on the tablet and it needs as much screen real estate as possible for what we're trying to do. I have searched already and I see that there are ways to do it on a rooted tablet, however since this will be in a business and deployed to several hundred or thousand businesses, I cannot have all the tablets rooted for legal and security issues. (Would I really have issues legally though if I were to root them?)
I know that you can dim the status bar and make the buttons dots but that really isn't optimal.
If there is no way to get rid of it, is it possible to change the status bar icons and functionality? I ask this because our app has a status bar on top and we could possibly move it to the bottom and change the icons and functionality of the status bar to match the app's status bar so no screen real estate is lost.
I have read that 4.2 adds some fullscreen functionality for apps. Is this true? Can the status bar be hidden in 4.2 as opposed to 4.1?
You could get rid of statusbar
Add this attribute to activity declaration in manifest
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

That just gets rid of the title bar for the app and the notification bar at the top. That does not get rid of the navigation bar at the bottom. I would like the navigation(system) bar to be gone.

I know but for un rooted dev this is the only thing that can be done
To completely remove statusbar del the Systemui.apk from system/app
To remove navigation bar at the bottom give me details of your dev and attach Systemui.apk and framework-res.apk they can be found in system/app and system/framework
But this can't be done without root
Press Thanx Button dude

Re: Getting rid of Status Bar on 4.1
Here's what I would do:
- Setup another Launcher (like Apex) to where 1) only one page, one icon (your app), and lock the homescreen from any changes, 2) make sure that when you press Menu, it performs a different action than giving you an option to access Settings, and 3) disabling the Status Bar in 'General'.
- Change the attribute in the Manifest file like sak-venom1997 suggested.
I'm pretty sure that doing this would give the user no option to change anything. Pretty sure.

Thanks for reply!
I haven't tried the module flatstyle bar indicator, but I have hidden the icon on the lock screen, by using module Clean Lockscreen:highfive:
Then the other 2 icons can hide by the module Qs X tiles per row [L-M].
