Can anyone tell me how I might add buttons, or other components, to a title/tool bar without using the items array? For months I've been struggling to find a way to make the bar on all my views contain the same user buttons and icons.
It's a struggle mostly on List item detail views where only a back button shows. I want the back button but also own buttons on the same bar. This is so my app has a uniform look and accessible functionality across the entire build.
Toolbar and TitleBar extend Ext.Container. In Sencha Touch containers always store their components inside the items array.
If you want to have a toolbar that always look the same just create your own by extending Ext.Toolbar. Use the initialize method of such extended Toolbar to add the buttons/icons.
To use it with a list you can create a wrapping container, which contains the extended toolbar and the list.
