ActionBar Not showing on device

Question

In Android Studio, i'm developing an app that requires the YouTube Data API to be used. I am able to get the API to work, however since the actionbar no longer shows on the device. In the Emulator, however, it shows the action bar. If i extend the "ActionBarActivity" it causes the app to crash because the "YouTubeBaseActivity" needs to be extended. Is there anyway I can extend both of these, or is there a better work around? My code is below.

public class MainActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener{




    public static final String API_KEY = "AIzaSyDWOPhdnXxg0tBLPNDvdRJYtEXgxjUDV-g";
    public static final String PlayList_ID = "PLIcQhhPfl0XazBc9_KwIGpvTmm7hECIbI";
    private YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer;
    private YouTubePlayerFragment youTubePlayerFragment;
    private YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView;
    private MyPlayerStateChangeListener myPlayerStateChangeListener;
    private MyPlaybackEventListener myPlaybackEventListener;

    private static final int RQS_ErrorDialog = 1;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);




        youTubePlayerView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtubeplayerview);
        youTubePlayerView.initialize(API_KEY, this);


        myPlayerStateChangeListener = new MyPlayerStateChangeListener();
        myPlaybackEventListener = new MyPlaybackEventListener();


    }

In the activity_main.xml, the actionbar shows up on the emulator, but not my device. Any help would be much appreciated, as I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere else. Thanks!

There's a better way. Instead of using the YouTubeBaseActivity, use the YouTubePlayerFragment which does not require you to use YouTube's activity.

After that, I recommend using the Toolbar on your own activity that extends AppCompatActivity. You can find a tutorial on how to set the toolbar here
