Action Bar is the most important element of the android app design. Action Bar is mostly used to provide the quick and easy access to the app actions.Action Bar is created at the top of the application and is consistent through out the application.
The action is divided into four sections.
1) App Icon - This section will display the app icon.
2) View Control - This section is used to display the options to change the app views. If the app has single view this area could be use for app title or description.
3)Action Buttons- This section will display the action buttons. The frequently used actions should be add to the this section as action buttons. If there are too many action buttons then the extra action button will move to the action overflow section automatically.
4)Action Overflow: This section will list the overflow action buttons.
The Action Bar items could be split into multiple action bars at top or could be add as a bottom bar also. This is very important while designing the app for multiple screen sizes and screen rotations.
Contextual Action Bar : The contextual action bar (CAB) is a temporary action bar which overlays the apps action bar for the duration of the sub-task.
For sharing applications you can add the share action provider in your app action bar which provide various options to share the contents.
