onCreate in MainActivity.java

    @Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.main.xml);
        getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);
}

You can add to titlebar different Views by xml file.
custom_title.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/screen"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <TextView android:id="@+id/left_text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:text="Some text" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
       
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
    
</RelativeLayout>

Bitmap Width, Height without memory allocation:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.id.myimage, options);
// now opts.outWidth and opts.outHeight are the dimension of the
// bitmap, even though Bitmap is null
int imageHeight = options.outHeight;
int imageWidth = options.outWidth;
String imageType = options.outMimeType;

Spinner in Android application is equivalent of ComboBox in WinApi.
Spinner get selected item to string example.
Spinner get selected item position to int example.

Main activity class MainComboBox.java

public class MainComboBox extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, R.array.countries_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());

        Button myButton =(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        myButton.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {

            spinnerString = sp.getSelectedItem().toString();
            int nPos = sp.getSelectedItemPosition();
            
             
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "getSelectedItem=" + spinnerString,
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "getSelectedItemPosition=" + nPos,
                		Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }
}
