| 35 | <p>The action bar is one of the most important design elements you can implement for your |
| 36 | app's activities. It provides several user interface features that make your app immediately |
| 37 | familiar to users by offering consistency between other Android apps. Key functions include:</p> |
| 38 | |
| 39 | <ul> |
| 40 | <li>A dedicated space for giving your app an identity and indicating the user's location |
| 41 | in the app.</li> |
| 42 | <li>Access to important actions in a predictable way (such as Search).</li> |
| 43 | <li>Support for navigation and view switching (with tabs or drop-down lists).</li> |
| 44 | </ul> |
