Project Setup

1. Copy (or link) all the .java files into your project src (under the appropriate com.polychrom.cordova package).
2. Copy actionbar.js into your cordova app's www directory
3. Add <script charset="utf-8" src="actionbar.js"></script> to your cordova app's HTML.
4. Call requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); BEFORE loadUrl/setContentView to request the ActionBar feature for your activity's window.
5. Add getActionBar(); to your Activity's onCreate function AFTER loadUrl/setContentView - Android won't create/display an ActionBar if it isn't called.
