[android-developers] Re: Could title bar of activity listen to click event?
Implement your own custom title bar. You will need to make this taller than the regular title bar anyway for a decent user experience (especially if you want DOUBLE tap...), so just bit the bullet and do your own thing. 2009/4/22 UJ ujhu...@gmail.com Dear Dianne, Generally speaking, I agree your opinion. But, there are some speical cases, such as: If I want to implement double tap address bar on browser to enter web address as iPhone, I must let the address bar can listen the click event. Unfortunately the address bar seems be implemented by title bar so it can not meet this requirement. Can you give some tips for this achievement? Thank you very much.

[android-developers] Re: Could title bar of activity listen to click event?
This probably isn't going to be too useful -- the title bar takes advantage of not being touchable by making itself less tall. Trying to touch that title bar, with the active status bar already right above it, would be not too easy. So if you do want to have a touchable title bar, you probably want yours to be taller than the normal title bar, so you might just want to make your own custom title bar.
