Remarks

Show the ActionBar if it is not currently showing. If the window hosting the ActionBar does not have the feature Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY it will resize application content to fit the new space available. If you are hiding the ActionBar through View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN, you should not call this function directly.
