Hi had to rewrite my post. Basically I want to remove the icon logo from my action bar in Android. I have been told that users can turn of the show notifications settings on their phone, but I need to over-write the phone settings to hide in my app as it takes up valuable space. I've been told it happens to Android 4.0 upwards. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi Burns thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I'm not a strong coder especially for Android, so have no idea where to add this code. Is this a problem you know off?

Ive had it a few times on apps I would rather not have the icon displayed for whatever reason - confess I gave up too! Was hoping that given the link and some of the talent on here a quick response would follow :)

There are a few Android developers, might PM some, because its doing my nut as well. Absolutly pointless to have this extra bar.

Try this? Seems like a pretty simple solution if it works. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14606294/remove-icon-logo-from-action-bar-on-android

Hi Chris forgive me, but I'm no coder, very bad to be precise. Could you possibly tell me how as I have no idea where to place the code.

Try putting it in the onCreateView method

Or actually it might be the OnCreateOptionsMenu method.I know bt_fragment.java is what sets up all of this.take a look in there.im not at any computers right now to check

Hi CM any further assistance would be hugly appreciated. Struggling here.

looks like I'm going to have to start doing more android. Survey says it's an action bar find actionbar in bt code hey there you are in BT_activity_host.java in the src folder. First method on create. First option under this //setup the android action bar with a custom view for the title text... actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE, ActionBar.DISPLAY_USE_LOGO); actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true); actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true); actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false); actionBar.setTitle(getString(R.string.loading)); add this actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); according to google's api stuff this removes the home button or the icon in this case. option 2 change this actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE, ActionBar.DISPLAY_USE_LOGO); to this actionBar.setDisplayOptions(0); I have only tested this on a basic app but does the trick I think, just comment out changes while experimenting For more info on the action bar checkout the API http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActionBar.html

I never tried it but looked at bt_fragment.java in onCreateMenuoptions method.I think its the last statement in there.try commenting it out to see what it does

Thank you Kittsy, will try now.

@CMCOFFEE isn't that the code for the little pop down menu on the right

YES YES YES! Kittsy I'm about to call the queen and put you forward for a Knighthood for your outstanding achievements to BT. This may sound like I'm kissing your ass, but its better than kissing your balls. Your the man! GREAT FIX!

Yes it is ha dont know what I was thinking.I knew I seen it in oncreate methods somewhere when looking at stack overflow.Didnt even see you had posted the answer ha.thanks!

now that I think about it you should never modify the bt_fragment.java.it kind of sets up everything and can be changed from cp or overriden from a plugins class,since they extend bt_fragment
