appcelerator hide actionBar from tabgroup - titanium

I want to hide ActionBar from tabGroup in appcelerator titanium android.
When we create new project in appcelerator it by defaults has a tabbar and an actionbar on it. I want to remove that actionBar and only want to have tabs in my tab group I tried many codes one of them is as below
tabGroup.addEventListener("open", function() {
var actionBar = tabGroup.getActivity().actionBar;
if (actionBar) {
actionBar.hide();
}
});
But this code sample also hides the tabs of my tabgroup.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately that is not possible. Titanium mobile implements TabGroup and Tabs using ActionBar.Tab functionality Source code of Titanium TabGroup
So if you hide the ActionBar, you will hide the Tabs as well :)

I had the same problem, you can set the tabGroup Title to empty, the Title bar will disappear automatically :
var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup({
title:'',
});

XAML Xamarin Forms navigation drawer sample code for iOS/Android

Does anyone know how a navigation drawer similar to the one in the Sonos app can be implemented? I have checked both Android and iOS versions of the app and see that the navigation drawer has been implemented in the same way for both platforms.
The two key things that I like and want to implement are:
the slide out drawer is below the navigation bar. When it slides out, the navigation bar is still visible
it appears as if it is the drawer that slides out, rather than the detail view moving to the right. I've noticed that the default master detail page slides out in a different way and it's not what we want.
Have a look at the images below so see I mean.
thanks
Although not technically a good practice, if you put a MasterDetailPage into a NavigationPage, it will slide out like in the above pictures. Here's how you do that:
In the App.cs constructor or your app's OnStart() method:
MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MyMasterDetailPage()) {
Title = "Your Title"
};
Create a new MasterDetailPage called MyMasterDetailPage.
In the constructor, add the following code:
Detail = new HomePage();
Master = new MenuPage()
{
Title = "Menu"
};
You then need to create a ContentPage for both HomePage and MenuPage.
One issue that you will run into if you use this method, is that if you don't call MyMasterDetailPage as the first page upon opening the app, the three horizontal bars on the NavigationBar won't appear, which will make it hard for users to tell there is a drawer. So if you need users to go to a login page or another page before your MasterDetailPage, you may want to find another implementation.

can any one let me know how to disable the navigationbar in titanium?

can any one let me know how to disable(not to hide) the navigation bar in titanium.

I think this URL will help you to hide action bar
hide action bar
or if you are work with classic app development
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({theme: "Theme.NoActionBar"});
win.open();
and for alloy
win1.addEventListener('open', function(e) {
win1.activity.actionBar.hide();
});
win1.open();

Can a dojo TabContainer be configured to switch by mouse over?

I'm using dojo toolkit dijit.layout.TabContainer to switch 3 tabbed pages.
Right now I click on tabs to switch them, but I want to switch them by mouse over instead.
Can a TabContainer be configured to switch by mouse over, or should I write a code to handle mouse over events to explicitly switch tabs?
I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Yes. For this functionality, we need to add the onmouseover event to the tabs label fields. Add this code inside the dojo/ready (or addOnLoad) function.
require(["dojo/ready","dojo/query"], function(ready,query){
ready(function(){
var tabs = dijit.byId("TabContainerID");
query("#TabContainerID.dijitTabInner").onmouseover(function(evt){
var tablabelid = dijit.getEnclosingWidget(evt.target).id;
var currentId = dijit.byId("TabContainerID").selectedChildWidget;
var tabwidid = tablabelid.split("_").pop();
if(tabwidid && currentId!=tabwidid) {
tabs.selectChild(tabwidid);
}
});
});
});

Appcelerator - barImage hides the title text

When I create a new window in Appcelerator I need to change the background image. This is done by setting “barImage”. The window itself is a child of a navigation group and has its own children. When I use the “barImage” parameter it hides the nav bar title text on the initial load of the window. If I navigate to its child window and then back the title text is displayed in the nav bar.
var sectionWindow = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
backgroundColor:'#fff',
fullscreen:false,
title:’My Sub Page',
modal:true,
barImage:'images/nav_bar.png'
});
How can I get the title text to consistently display?
I believe there are known issues with the barImage in the 1.7.2 release, please check the 1.8x CI builds where the issue has been addressed

Adding buttons in Sencha Touch

I want to update the toolbar's content of the main view from a subview (HotelApp.views.hotelDetail)
This is my toolbar from HotelApp.views.mainView
this.topBar = new Ext.Toolbar({
dock:'top',
id:'main_page_topbar',
title:'H10 Sencha Demo',
items:[this.back,
{xtype: 'spacer'}
]
});
The toolbar already have a back button. The problem is i can see the shape of a button, but no text either ID. What i'm doing wrong??
I use this code:
var toolbar = HotelApp.views.mainView.getDockedItems()[1];
var images = new Ext.Button({
text:'Images',
id:'images',
ui:'drastic'
})
toolbar.setTitle(record.get('nombre'));
toolbar.add({items: images});
toolbar.doLayout();
Thanks!!!
I think that your problem is only that you have to add your button calling
toolbar.add(images);
instead of
toolbar.add({items: images});
I even suggest you to don't use 'id' config for your components but 'itemId'.
In this way you can always get your views components by calling
myView.getComponent('myComponentItemId');
or
myView.getDockedComponent('myComponentItemId');
for DockedComponents like toolbars.
Hope this helps.
