+<WRAP center round important 60%>
 The changes to Android Studio 1.5.1 have put this chapter well out of sync with both the "Blank Activity" and "Empty Activity" templates. So while this isn't a very long chapter, there will be a //lot// of corrections/addenda.

-====== Chapter 9 ======
 It might be a little ambiguous in the Chapter intro, so here's a summary of what you're going to do in the chapter. You will build an app that has an //action bar//. An action bar is space at the top of an app that holds the activity name or other info on the left (in LTR languages) as well as a menu on the right (in LTR languages). The menu will have a number of items; some of those items will be specified to be pulled out of the drop down list and placed on the action bar as //action buttons// alongside the menu.
-The action bar is a bit of a cluster fudge at the moment. It wasn't to Android added until relatively recently, and if you want to build apps using action bars that target older versions of Android, you'll have to use compatibility libraries. The syntax when compatibility libraries is just different enough from current Android "native" action bars to make things maximally painful to move from one to the other.

 Another issue is that the compatibility libraries seem to be buggier than the current Android "native" action bars. So, I think it's best not to mess around with the compatibility libraries at first. Let the fun begin.
