public abstract class ActionBar
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.support.v7.app.ActionBar

A primary toolbar within the activity that may display the activity title, application-level navigation affordances, and other interactive items.

The action bar appears at the top of an activity's window when the activity uses the AppCompat's AppCompat theme (or one of its descendant themes). You may otherwise add the action bar by calling requestFeature(FEATURE_SUPPORT_ACTION_BAR) or by declaring it in a custom theme with the windowActionBar property.

The action bar may be represented by any Toolbar widget within the application layout. The application may signal to the Activity which Toolbar should be treated as the Activity's action bar. Activities that use this feature should use one of the supplied .NoActionBar themes, set the windowActionBar attribute to false or otherwise not request the window feature.

If your activity has an options menu, you can make select items accessible directly from the action bar as "action items". You can also modify various characteristics of the action bar or remove it completely.

The navigation button (formerly "Home") takes over the space previously occupied by the application icon. Apps wishing to express a stronger branding should use their brand colors heavily in the action bar and other application chrome or use a logo in place of their standard title text.

From your activity, you can retrieve an instance of ActionBar by calling getSupportActionBar() getSupportActionBar()}.

In some cases, the action bar may be overlayed by another bar that enables contextual actions, using an ActionMode. For example, when the user selects one or more items in your activity, you can enable an action mode that offers actions specific to the selected items, with a UI that temporarily replaces the action bar. Although the UI may occupy the same space, the ActionMode APIs are distinct and independent from those for ActionBar.

Parameters

setHideOnContentScrollEnabled

void setHideOnContentScrollEnabled (boolean hideOnContentScroll)

Enable hiding the action bar on content scroll.

If enabled, the action bar will scroll out of sight along with a nested scrolling child view's content. The action bar must be in overlay mode to enable hiding on content scroll.

When partially scrolled off screen the action bar is considered hidden. A call to show will cause it to return to full view.

Parameters
`hideOnContentScroll`	`boolean`: true to enable hiding on content scroll.

setHomeActionContentDescription

void setHomeActionContentDescription (CharSequence description)

Set an alternate description for the Home/Up action, when enabled.

This description is commonly used for accessibility/screen readers when the Home action is enabled. (See setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(boolean).) Examples of this are, "Navigate Home" or "Navigate Up" depending on the DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP display option. If you have changed the home-as-up indicator using setHomeAsUpIndicator(int) to indicate more specific functionality such as a sliding drawer, you should also set this to accurately describe the action.

Setting this to null will use the system default description.

Parameters
`description`	`CharSequence`: New description for the Home action when enabled

See also:

setHomeActionContentDescription

void setHomeActionContentDescription (int resId)

Set an alternate description for the Home/Up action, when enabled.

Setting this to 0 will use the system default description.

Parameters
`resId`	`int`: Resource ID of a string to use as the new description for the Home action when enabled

See also:

setHomeAsUpIndicator

void setHomeAsUpIndicator (int resId)

Set an alternate drawable to display next to the icon/logo/title when DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP is enabled. This can be useful if you are using this mode to display an alternate selection for up navigation, such as a sliding drawer.

If you pass 0 to this method, the default drawable from the theme will be used.

If you implement alternate or intermediate behavior around Up, you should also call setHomeActionContentDescription() to provide a correct description of the action for accessibility support.

Parameters
`resId`	`int`: Resource ID of a drawable to use for the up indicator, or 0 to use the theme's default

See also:

setHomeAsUpIndicator

void setHomeAsUpIndicator (Drawable indicator)

setHomeButtonEnabled

This defaults to true for packages targeting < API 14. For packages targeting API 14 or greater, the application should call this method to enable interaction with the home/up affordance.

Setting the DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP display option will automatically enable the home button.

Parameters
`enabled`	`boolean`: true to enable the home button, false to disable the home button.

setIcon
