We do not support the action bar in Qt 5.1. For now we have concentrated on 
the features available in API level 10. Currently the only option is to write 
the Java code yourself, and add the C++/Java interface code manually. 

There are many things we want to improve for Qt 5.2 (which is why we call the 
android port a tech preview). We are currently in the planning stage, and this 
is valuable input to that process.

I have created https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32002
to track this issue.
