To create a custom title bar, you need to do four things

  1. Set up a relative layout specifying TextView for left, center text, and a ImageView aligned in the centre.
  2. From the onCreate of the activity where the custom title is displayed, call requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
  3. Call setContentView as usual.
  4. Then you need to instruct that the layout of the custom title is to be put in place with the associated relative layout getWindow.setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOMER_TITLE, R.layout.my_custom_title);

From there onwards, its a matter of obtaining the TextView and ImageView widgets via findViewById and calling the appropriate methods of the widget to suit the requirements.
