How to change size of title's text on Action Bar?

Question

There is an ActionBar on each Android 4.0 application, and it got a title. I need to make this size less. But I don't understand how I can do it, because ActionBar doesn't provide public methods for it. Remark: I don't want to use custom views.

Answer 1

Actually, you can do what you want to customize the ActionBar. It must be done through the Theme. You can do something like this :

<style name="Theme.YourTheme" parent="android:style/Theme">     <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Theme.YourTheme.Styled.ActionBar</item> </style>  <style name="Theme.YourTheme.Styled.ActionBar">     <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/Theme.Viadeo.Styled.YourTheme.TitleTextStyle</item> </style>  <style name="Theme.YourTheme.Styled.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView">     <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item> </style> 

Answer 2

You could always do something like this:

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<small>YOUR TITLE</small>"));
