/**
 * This class is a mediator for accomplishing a given task, for example sharing a file.
 * It is responsible for creating a view that performs an action that accomplishes the task.
 * This class also implements other functions such a performing a default action.
 * <p>
 * An ActionProvider can be optionally specified for a {@link MenuItem} and in such a
 * case it will be responsible for creating the action view that appears in the
 * {@link android.app.ActionBar} as a substitute for the menu item when the item is
 * displayed as an action item. Also the provider is responsible for performing a
 * default action if a menu item placed on the overflow menu of the ActionBar is
 * selected and none of the menu item callbacks has handled the selection. For this
 * case the provider can also optionally provide a sub-menu for accomplishing the
 * task at hand.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * There are two ways for using an action provider for creating and handling of action views:
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Setting the action provider on a {@link MenuItem} directly by calling
 * {@link MenuItem#setActionProvider(ActionProvider)}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Declaring the action provider in the menu XML resource. For example:
 * <pre>
 * <code>
 *   &lt;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" /&gt;
 * </code>
 * </pre>
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
