Why Android is truncating my ActionBar title?

I know this question was posted a long time ago, but I recently ran into this issue and it caused a hell of a headache. I'm working on a Galaxy Note 10.1 and my title was "BidItems" and I only had the action overflow item visible, yet sometimes, "BidItems" became "BidIt..." which is just ridiculous. After much testing, I found that the reason for this truncating behavior in my application is that I was calling a method using ((MyActivity) getApplication()).setTitle(); method from one of my fragments. The setTitle() method in my Activity calls getActionBar().setTitle(). As soon as I called this method, my title was truncated for no reason. But simply calling setTitle() from my activity worked just fine.

I really hope this saves people the headache it caused me.

I guess this problem is solved by refreshing action bar UI.

So I had solved with below codes.

ActionBar actionBar = getActivity().getActionBar();
actionBar.setTitle(title);

// for refreshing UI
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
