this is BaseActivity class used to give functionalities to header

abstract public class BaseActivity extends Activity{
    ImageView imVBattery,imVWIFI,imVSabaqLogo;
    Button btnSettings,btnTheme;
    WifiManager wifiManager;

    //set resources to all the contols

    public void setHeader(){    
    imVBattery=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imVBattery);
    imVWIFI=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imVWIFI);
    imVSabaqLogo=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imVSabaqLogo);
    btnSettings=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnSettings);

public class Main extends BaseActivity implements OnClickListener{

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.s_main);
            //with the help of this i assign all resources to controls of headers
        setHeader();
    }
