Did you click on the right layout? If not, you can go to the Android layouts file in the res directory and manually add the action bar from there.

Hi Shane, Thanks for the reply, the actions bar ended up not being required for the application that was being developed. It may have been a case of selecting the wrong layout when I initially built the app. Thanks for the quick assistance.
