Simple answer: That's not an ActionBar. :-)

Longer answer: That's not an ActionBar, that's just the titlebar. Use the following attribute on your <application> tag to trigger the ActionBar:

android:theme="@style/Theme.Holo.Light"

thanks, but in my understanding the ActionBar is always present,and I do not have to use a theme to invoke it.... am I right??? or not.... :-/ Thank you very much - LISA – Lisa Anne Jul 01 '13 at 13:36
Now that you mention it, I think that specifically is related to the `android:targetSdkVersion` that you set. Try setting it higher than 8 (2.2), preferably 17 (4.2.2) for it to show itself. :-) @LisaAnne – karllindmark Jul 01 '13 at 13:40
putting changed nothing :-( – Lisa Anne Jul 01 '13 at 13:45
Try putting: `` instead. @LisaAnne – karllindmark Jul 01 '13 at 13:49
added android:theme="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault" – Lisa Anne Jul 01 '13 at 13:52
