// Set navigation mode (NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD is the default)
ActionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);

// Set menu items
ActionBar.setMenu([
	{ icon: 'img/new.png', text: 'New File', show: ActionBar.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS, click: function() { alert('Create new file'); } },
	{ icon: 'img/save.png', text: 'Save',
	  header: { icon: 'img/save.png', text: 'Save as...' },
	  items: [
		{ text: 'PNG', click: function() { alert('Save PNG'); } },
		{ text: 'JPEG', click: function() { alert('Save JPEG'); } }
	  ]
	},
	{ icon: 'img/search.png', text: 'Search', show: ActionBar.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | ActionBar.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT }
]);

var ActionBar = window.plugins.actionbar;

// Hide title bar
ActionBar.setDisplayOptions(0);

// Set navigation mode to display tabs
ActionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

ActionBar.setTabs([
	{ icon: 'img/inbox.png', text: 'Inbox',
		select: function() { alert('View Inbox!'); },
		reselect: function() { alert('Refresh Inbox!'); },
		unselect: function() { alert('Hide Inbox!'); }
	},
	{ icon: 'icons/settings.png', text: 'Outbox',
		select: function() { alert('View Outbox!'); },
		reselect: function() { alert('Refresh Outbox!'); },
		unselect: function() { alert('Hide Outbox!');
	}

Project Setup

1. Copy (or link) all the .java files into your project src (under the appropriate com.polychrom.cordova package).
2. Copy actionbar.js into your cordova app's www directory
3. Add <script charset="utf-8" src="actionbar.js"></script> to your cordova app's HTML.
4. Call requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); BEFORE loadUrl/setContentView to request the ActionBar feature for your activity's window.
5. Add getActionBar(); to your Activity's onCreate function AFTER loadUrl/setContentView - Android won't create/display an ActionBar if it isn't called.
