Has anyone successfully set a custom header using MonoDroid?
This code does not work:
base.OnCreate (bundle); SetContentView (Resource.Layout.WordSearchLayout); //Customise the title bar if (this.Window.RequestFeature(WindowFeatures.CustomTitle)) { this.Window.SetFeatureInt (WindowFeatures.CustomTitle, Resource.Layout.custom_title); }
Strange, it does not work when calling RequestFeature with the exception requestFeature() must be called! .

Changing the order of the code for calling SetContentView (see below) has some effect:
base.OnCreate (bundle); //Customise the title bar if (this.Window.RequestFeature (WindowFeatures.CustomTitle)) { this.Window.SetFeatureInt (WindowFeatures.CustomTitle, Resource.Layout.custom_title); } SetContentView (Resource.Layout.WordSearchLayout);
This will result in an empty gray line in the header, but nothing else. custom_title is defined as:
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/myTitle" android:text="This is my new title" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:textColor="@android:color/black" android:background="@android:color/white" android:layout_marginLeft="25px" android:paddingTop="3px" />
The same result (gray bar) on the emulator and device.
Any ideas?
