Set Android ActionBar Home/Up Button

Question

I want to put a home button on one of my activities actionbar.

But this makes more sense:

<activity android:name="ItemOne" android:parentActivityName="Dashboard"></activity>

Why does an activity let you set a parentActivityName. Shouldn't that enable the up button for me?

parentActivityName was added in Jelly Bean, ActionBarSherlock is based on Ice Cream Sandwich. The attribute is not supported.

Gotcha. So... do you think that on a Jelly Bean device, it would enable the up button? – EGHDK Sep 21 '12 at 07:00
I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but it should follow native behavior on JB. – SimonVT Sep 21 '12 at 07:08
