I dont want sliding at all, i want a dropdown menu.
Regarding the action bar's structure, you have two options for the left side and one for the right side.
Left side:
Enable Action bar drop-down navigation
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);
or
Add a custom View
as navigational element via ActionBar#setCustomView()
, a Spinner
in your case.
Right side:
Add only one MenuItem
to the action bar as a custom Action View, a Spinner
in your case.
