The concept of ActionBar has been introduced with the Twitter application for Android. More recently, we have seen this widget in the Google I/O 2010 schedule application. To sum up, an ActionBar can be considered as an advanced title bar that is capable of: containing several ActionBaritems (similar to buttons) being styled so that the general look’n'feel of the application is in accordance with the underlying brand/visual identity containing a title to show the user a summary of the screen content featuring several user interaction pattern.

Split out many internal classes into top-level classes. Removed unnecessary class (ActionList). Added support for fetching a specific Action (View) from the bar by index. Minor syntactic changes to improve performance.

This projects aims to provide a reusable action bar widget. The action bar replaces the default title and is therefor located at the top of the screen. The action bar highlights important actions. The action bar pattern is well documented over at Android Patterns. The action bar widget is an Library Project. This means that there's no need to copy-paste resources into your own project, simply add the action bar widget as a reference to your existing project.
