Description

Titanium.Android.ActionBar is not defined on Android version 2.3.7 (API 10) and prior. Since Titanium 3.3.0 using AppCombat this should be possible as the ActionBar is available.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new default app 2. Copy below example code into app.js 3. Run on Android emulator / device with Android 2.3.7 (API 10)

Expected result:

actionbar should return a valid reference

Actual result:

actionbar is undefined

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
win.addEventListener('open', doOpen);

function doOpen(){
    var activity = win.activity;
    var actionbar = activity.actionbar;
    
    Ti.API.info(activity);
    Ti.API.info(actionbar);
}

win.open();

Hi, Can you try this sample code in your device, as it works in my android 2.3.6.

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       title: "Old Title",
       navBarHidden: false
   });
   var actionBar;
   
   win.addEventListener("open", function() {
       if (Ti.Platform.osname === "android") {
           if (! win.activity) {
               Ti.API.error("Can't access action bar on a lightweight window.");
           } else {
               actionBar = win.activity.actionBar;
               if (actionBar) {
                   actionBar.backgroundImage = "/bg.png";
                   actionBar.title = "New Title";
                   actionBar.onHomeIconItemSelected = function() {
                       Ti.API.info("Home icon clicked!");
                   };
               }
           }
       }
   });
   
   win.open();
