All action buttons and other items available in the action overflow are defined in an XML menu resource. To add actions to the action bar, create a new XML file in your project's res/menu/ directory. The app:showAsAction attribute specifies whether the action should be shown as a button on the app bar.
Android ActionBar is a menu bar that runs across the top of the activity screen in android. Android ActionBar can contain menu items which become visible when the user clicks the “menu” button.
The key functions of the app bar are as follows: A dedicated space for giving your app an identity and indicating the user's location in the app. Access to important actions in a predictable way, such as search. Support for navigation and view switching (with tabs or drop-down lists).
Here is another sample project, covered in one of my books, that demonstrates tabs in the action bar, among other features.
