/**
* An ActionProvider defines rich menu interaction in a single component.
* ActionProvider can generate action views for use in the action bar,
* dynamically populate submenus of a MenuItem, and handle default menu
* item invocations.
*
* An ActionProvider can be optionally specified for a {@link MenuItem} and will be
* responsible for creating the action view that appears in the {@link android.app.ActionBar}
* in place of a simple button in the bar. When the menu item is presented in a way that
* does not allow custom action views, (e.g. in an overflow menu,) the ActionProvider
* can perform a default action.
*
* There are two ways to use an action provider:
*
* -
* Set the action provider on a {@link MenuItem} directly by calling
* {@link MenuItem#setActionProvider(ActionProvider)}.
*
* -
* Declare the action provider in an XML menu resource. For example:
*
*
* <item android:id="@+id/my_menu_item"
* android:title="Title"
* android:icon="@drawable/my_menu_item_icon"
* android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
* android:actionProviderClass="foo.bar.SomeActionProvider" />
*
*
