## What it is
A reusable Android action bar UI component implemented as an Android Library Project in Java. It lets developers add an action bar with title, home, and custom actions to their apps via layout XML or programmatic APIs.

## Use cases
- add an action bar to an old Android app
- implement the action bar pattern on pre-Honeycomb Android
- create custom action bar actions from intents
- reuse an action bar component across multiple Android projects

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android project already using this library
- targeting very old Android versions where the support library is unavailable

## When to avoid
- starting any new Android project
- you need maintained, modern UI components
- your minSdk supports the v7 appcompat library or ActionBarSherlock

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: -
- tags: action-bar, deprecated, java, android-widget, android
