Description

When testing TIMOB-11642, I tried the following code: 
win1.addEventListener("open", function(evt) {
    var actionBar = win1.activity.actionBar;
    Ti.API.info("In evt. listener, actionBar is: " + actionBar);
    actionBar.title = "Title Demo";
    actionBar.onHomeIconItemSelected = function() {
        alert("Home clicked!");
    }
});
As reported by @igorsantos07, I got a crash on this. If I replace the alert with a Ti.API.info call, all goes well. Weird.

    PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/3545 Full test case: 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       fullscreen : true
   });
    
   win.addEventListener('open', function(){
       var actionBar = win.activity.actionBar;
       actionBar.onHomeIconItemSelected = function() {
           alert('home clicked');
       }
   });
    
   win.open();

    Resolving... I tried three devices and it worked fine. Galaxy Nexus (4.1), Nexus 4 (4.2), and Galaxy tab (3.2). If you see this issue, please also attach logs.

    This error only occurs if you didn't specify your app to be API 11 and above. Please add this to your tiapp.xml: 
           <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
           <manifest>
               <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="11"/>
           </manifest>
       </android>
    Please see http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/Android_Action_Bar for more info.
