I am trying to create a custom title layout but I'd still want to use the activity's original label text. Is there a way to reference the window title (label attribute) in my custom title xml? Thanks.

What do you mean by a custom title layout? – Manish Burman Aug 14 '11 at 05:18

You can try to override Activity.onTitleChanged() method. I've never tried this solution but it must work according to the Android source code.

OK - it works. A pure xml solution would be better but I am happy with this for now. – Eric Chen Aug 14 '11 at 08:01

In theory, if a custom title contains a `TextView` with `android:id=@android:id/title` then it will be a pure xml solution. But it's only an assumption. – Michael Aug 14 '11 at 08:31

Right but the custom title has already overridden the original so this doesn't work. – Eric Chen Aug 14 '11 at 08:48

I don't understand what you mean. Have you tried this? I mean setting `TextView`'s id to `"@android:id/title"`? – Michael Aug 14 '11 at 15:53

Tried that. It doesn't display anything when placed into the title bar. – Eric Chen Aug 14 '11 at 16:18
