ActionBar

This is an overview of the most common usage of ActionBar. For more information about the available properties, methods, or events, head over to the complete API documentation for ActionBar.

The ActionBar component is a NativeScript abstraction for the Android ActionBar and iOS NavigationBar.


Using a title

<ActionBar title="MyApp" />

Using a custom title view

<ActionBar>
  <StackLayout orientation="horizontal">
    <Image src="res://icon" width="40" height="40" verticalAlignment="center" />
    <Label text="ativeScript" fontSize="24" verticalAlignment="center" />
  </StackLayout>
</ActionBar>

Setting an App Icon for Android

<ActionBar title="My App" android.icon="res://icon" android.iconVisibility="always" />

Removing the border

On iOS and Android a little border is drawn at the bottom of the ActionBar. Furthermore, the background color of the ActionBar on iOS is slightly different to what you specify because iOS applies a filter. To remove this filter and the border, set flat to true.

<ActionBar title="My App" flat="true" />
