Android - How to show App logo in action bar

Question

The theme of my application is Light. Can I display app icon in action bar without changing app style from Theme.Light to Theme.Holo.Light.

style.xml

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">

AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:logo="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

The styles of "EditText" and etc object more beautiful with Theme.Light, that why I don't want to change it. It is possible or I should write style for each object and change theme of application.

Answer 1

This works for me with Theme.Light

android.support.v7.app.ActionBar menu = getSupportActionBar();
menu.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
menu.setLogo(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
menu.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);

Answer 2

The actionbar uses the android:logo attribute from manifest file. Then use setDisplayUseLogoEnabled() to set it in the ActionBar

Answer 3

Try like this

 getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME |
                ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE | ActionBar.DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP | 
                ActionBar.DISPLAY_USE_LOGO);
 getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.search_icon);
 getSupportActionBar().setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);

Answer 4

This works well for me:

//show the icon
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
