The six branches show the progress if implementing a quick return toolbar for an Android application writtin in Xamarin with MvvmCross:

  • 1-before-appcompat - starting out with Holo Light theme and no AppCompat
  • 2-appcompat-darkactionbar - add AppCompat and change the theme to automatically show the toolbar
  • 3-mvxappcompatactivity - hack MvvmCross so that it shows the AppCompat toolbar
  • 4-toolbar-include - remove the toolbar from the theme and add it to the layouts
  • 5-upgrade-mvvmcross - upgrade MvvmCross to v4 so as to fix styling issue
  • master - implement the quick return toolbar
