Removing left arrow from the actionbar in android?
Solution 1
According to specification android specification: To enable the icon for up navigation (which displays the "up" indicator next to the icon), call setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) on your ActionBar:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
...
}
So you should set actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
UPDATE: I test next code with ActionBar sherlock and it's work. There is no back arrow:
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.about_event_location);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);

You need to add this to your actionBar theme. You can replace arrow image with your own image which can be transparent
<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/action_arrow</item>
Solution 3
getActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.action_arrow);
Where action_arrow is a 25x10px transparent png. Same code for sherlock would be:
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.action_arrow);

@vivek: works great. I do not recommend to use @android:color/transparent as Tim Cooper said, because the Title is aligned to the left. So a empty image is better

I want to remove the left arrow from the action bar and only icon and title needed.
My code:
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.logo); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.dashboardtitle); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
But this doesn't remove the left arrow . Any help!!
