How to change android Activity label

Question

I have created an Activity and declared in Manifest file. But I would like to re-use the same Activity for other purpose.

 <activity
            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
            android:label="Main Menu"
            android:name=".MainMenu"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light" >
        </activity>

I need to change the Label dynamically. Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

if(Condition)

    setTitle("Your Title");
}

    // your Default Title from Manifest
}

I have the same problem, Try this in onCreate it's work for me!

public class YourActivityName extends Activity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setTitle("Your Title");
  }
}

You need to use setTitle for this:

setTitle(R.string.your_title);
//or
setTitle("new title");
