android ActionBarActivity 显示ActionBar

首先推荐两篇文章

http://www.android-doc.com/reference/android/support/v7/app/ActionBarActivity.html
http://www.android-doc.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html

这两篇官方文档，大概讲述了ActionBarActivity 和什么事ActionBar

重点1： 对于有点Activity我们不需要ActionBar可以使用这样的theme
方法一：`

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar">`

方法二：调用hide方法

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.hide();
//可以调用show()显示

回归正题 如何使用ActionBarActivity显示ActionBar。什么是ActionBar 我觉得就是类似于菜单吧

1. 首先创建菜单的布局文件 main.xml

<!--
    As we're using ActionBarCompat, any action item attributes come from ActionBarCompat's XML
    namespace instead of the android namespace. Here we've added a new support namespace added to
    the menu element allowing us to use the 'showAsAction' attribute in a backwards compatible way.
    Any other action item attributes used should be referenced from this namespace too
    (actionProviderClass, actionViewClass, actionLayout).
-->
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:support="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >

    <!--
        Here we create an item, setting support:showAsAction to display the item as an action if
        there's room on the compatible Action Bar.
    -->
    <item
        android:id="@+id/menu_refresh"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_refresh"
        android:title="@string/menu_refresh"
        support:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>

    <!-- Location item is added in onCreateOptionsMenu() -->

    <!--
        Here we set the settings item to always be in the overflow menu, by setting
        support:showAsAction to never, so it is never displayed as an action item on the compatible
        Action Bar.
    -->
    <item
        android:id="@+id/menu_settings"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_settings"
        android:title="@string/menu_settings"
        support:showAsAction="never"/>

</menu>

1. 创建Activity extend ActionBarActivity重写

  @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate our menu from the resources by using the menu inflater.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

        // It is also possible add items here. Use a generated id from
        // resources (ids.xml) to ensure that all menu ids are distinct.
        MenuItem locationItem = menu.add(0, R.id.menu_location, 0, R.string.menu_location);
        locationItem.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_location);

        // Need to use MenuItemCompat methods to call any action item related methods
        MenuItemCompat.setShowAsAction(locationItem, MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
        return true;
    }



    /**
     * This method is called when one of the menu items to selected. These items
     * can be on the Action Bar, the overflow menu, or the standard options menu. You
     * should return true if you handle the selection.
     */
    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
            case R.id.menu_refresh:
                // Here we might start a background refresh task
                return true;

            case R.id.menu_location:
                // Here we might call LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates()
                return true;

            case R.id.menu_settings:
                // Here we would open up our settings activity
                return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

就好了

注意一下：
1. menu.add()方法

public MenuItem add(int groupId, int itemId, int order, int titleRes);

添加时必须保证itemId已经被定义：

<item name="menu_location" type="id"/>  

从布局文件加载的MenuItem的order默认为0，排序为从左到右
