Custom title with image

i'm creating custom title for activity by disabling standard one and managing everything myself. I wonder if it's possible to replace/theme standart title to my needs.

I can customize size, background image, and text via themes by changing windowXYZStyle items.

The only thing i couldn't find - how i can add image instead of text. I've tried requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE) and assign custom layout - but it doesn't seems to work.

EDIT : Here is a report of testing suggestions, code is below - result - image view is not showing up.

Activity

public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity  {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE开发者_StackOverflow社区);
        getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);

    }
}

XML :

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/title"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="26dip"
    android:paddingLeft="5dip"
    android:background="@drawable/titlebar_bg"
    android:layout_gravity="left|center"
>
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/logo"
        android:src="@drawable/title_logo"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

It's possible to set your own custom title layout, however the order of execution matters. You must do things in this order:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.my_layout);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.my_custom_title);

Additionally, you may need to increase the size of the title; if you don't, then the bottom of your custom layout may just be covered up by your Activity. You can change the size by adding a theme that specifies the title's size. This would go into a values XML file:

<resources>
    <style name="LargeTitleTheme">
        <item name="android:windowTitleSize">40dip</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Then you'd need to set the theme for your Activity (or Application, if you want the entire application to have this custom title bar) in AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name=".MyCustomTitleActivity" android:theme="@style/LargeTitleTheme" />

You could always use:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

And then create your own title bar inside your Activity's View.

Are you sure that you need to use an image in the title rather than just combining it as part of your background image and leaving the title blank? Using a NinePatch image I would expect that you would be able to achieve a result that would look good on regardless of the device?

I have used the following code to fit my custom title to the screen

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/header_img"
    android:src="@drawable/header_img"
    android:layout_width="700dip"
    android:layout_height="70dip" />
