It is very easy. In every .class you want a different title in your actionbar, you only have yo setTitle. Like here:

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    setTitle("Your custom title");}

Just do this.

Add this in your Form activity class onCreate method.

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
actionBar.setTitle("Form");
