Answer 1

If this option is activated, Android has the option to split the action bar. Whether to split is decided by the system at runtime

You can define that the action bar should be automatically split by the system if not enough space is available you can activate this via the android:uiOptions="SplitActionBarWhenNarrow" parameter in the declaration of your application activity in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
