Removing left arrow from the actionbar in android?

Question

I want to remove the left arrow from the action bar and only icon and title needed.

My code:

getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.logo); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.dashboardtitle); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false); 

But this doesn't remove the left arrow . Any help!!

Answer 1

According to specification android specification: To enable the icon for up navigation (which displays the "up" indicator next to the icon), call setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) on your ActionBar:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);      setContentView(R.layout.main);     ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();     actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);     ... } 

So you should set actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);

UPDATE: I test next code with ActionBar sherlock and it's work. There is no back arrow:

getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.about_event_location); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false); 

Answer 2

You need to add this to your actionBar theme. You can replace arrow image with your own image which can be transparent

<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/action_arrow</item>
