Action Bar主要功能包含:
  1. 显示选项菜单
  2. 提供标签页的切换方式的导航功能，可以切换多个fragment. 
  3.  提供下拉的导航条目.
  4. 提供交互式活动视图代替选项条目 
  5. 使用程序的图标作为返回Home主屏或向上的导航操作。

首先说下，使用OverFlow的时候需要在onCreate()函数中调用如下方法：

private void forceShowOverflowMenu() {  
    try {  
        ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(this);  
        Field menuKeyField = ViewConfiguration.class  
                .getDeclaredField("sHasPermanentMenuKey");  
        if (menuKeyField != null) {  
            menuKeyField.setAccessible(true);  
            menuKeyField.setBoolean(config, false);  
        }  
    } catch (Exception e) {  
        e.printStackTrace();  
    }  
}

注：此处未使用这种实现方式，本应用中使用的PopupMen

public class ShopOrderActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements
		OnTouchListener, OnMenuItemClickListener{
	private Toast mToast;
	private Context context;
	/** AlertDialog中输入反馈框 */
	private EditText et_FeedBack;
	private PopupMenu popupMenu;

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.shop_order);

		//设置Home图标区域
//		requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_LEFT_ICON);
//		setFeatureDrawableResource(Window.FEATURE_LEFT_ICON, resId);
		
		this.context = this;
		mToast = Toast.makeText(this, "", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

		initActionBar();
	}
	@Override
	public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

		// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
		getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.actionbar_menu, menu);
		return true;
	}

	@Override
	public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
		// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
		// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
		// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.

				popupMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);
			}
			popupMenu.show();
			return true;

id == android.R.id.home

<activity
            android:name="com.shop.order.ShopOrderActivity"

actionbar_menu的代码：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
    
    <item
        android:id="@+id/new_order_bar"
        android:title="@string/new_order"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"/>
    
    <item
        android:id="@+id/actionbar_overflow"
        android:icon="@drawable/abc_ic_menu_moreoverflow_normal_holo_dark"
        android:title="@string/pop"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"/>
</menu>

注意：app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"如果写成android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"则不会在actionbar显示，当操作手机右下角的menu键时才会显示

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item
        android:id="@+id/actionbar_settings"
        android:title="@string/settings"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/historyOrder"
        android:title="@string/historyorder"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/logout"
        android:title="@string/logout"/>
</menu>
