Hi,

I've got a custom layout I want to use as the titlebar of my android app. The technique found (linked at the bottom) works, but the system titlebar is displayed before onCreate() is called. Obviously that looks pretty jarring, as for a moment the system titlebar is shown, then my custom titlebar is shown:

// styles.xml
<resources>
  <style name="MyTheme">
    <item name="android:windowTitleSize">40dip</item>
  </style>
</resources>

// One of my activities, MyTheme is applied to it in the manifest.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);
    getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.my_custom_header);
}

I could always hide the system titlebar and display my own in-line perhaps with each and every layout, but, that's not very friendly.

Thanks
