Can I get ActionBar without change the Activity to ActionBarActivity thanks

Answer 1

if you use SUPPORT LIBRARY ► android.support.v7.app.ActionBar

you have to get the support ActionBar.

so,

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

so, you can set title, subtitle and others functions (see all just clicking ►HERE◄)

Like:

actionBar.setTitle("My App Title");
