This looks like we are trying to use a method that might not be included in the compat library for older phones. Adding Wes as a mentor because he mentored the original bug.

[Chenxia Liu [:liuche]]

This bug requires two main things:

- Use MenuItemCompat.getActionView(MenuItem) instead of menuItem.getActionView() in ActionModeCompat.showTooltip()

- Add android.support.v7 so we can use the ActionBarActivity subclass of FragmentActivity
