Alloy Action Jackson: An Android Action Bar Demo App for Appcelerator Titanium

Alloy Action Jackson: It’s Time for Action.

Appcelerator added Action Bar support around Titanium SDK 3.0, and has been adding more support/changes for stuff like Action Bar Tabs and the Android Search View with each new SDK update. I needed to get myself up to speed on this new functionality, so I set up Alloy Action Jackson.

As you can probably guess, Alloy Action Jackson demonstrates various Action Bar-related functionality using Titanium Alloy. I’ll add more examples as I come across them, and maybe even post a how-to or three.

I also used the app to test setting up custom Holo Themes, which I talk about here.

Get It

Alloy Action Jackson is available on Github.

About Action Jackson

Action Jackson was a (terrible? classic?) 80’s movie starring Carl Weathers as the title character. I don’t even remember seeing the movie, but after reading the word ‘Action’ for hours on end while going through documentation, it’s pretty much all I could think up when it came time to name the project.

Action Jackson currently sits at 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.
