actons does not show in MainView

[XiaoGuo, Liu]

I created a very simple MainView app, and I got an action in the MainView. The actions do not show up:

import QtQuick 2.0
import Ubuntu.Components 1.1

/*!
    \brief MainView with a Label and Button elements.
*/

MainView {
    // objectName for functional testing purposes (autopilot-qt5)
    objectName: "mainView"

    // Note! applicationName needs to match the "name" field of the click manifest
    applicationName: "maiviewactions.liu-xiao-guo"

    /*
     This property enables the application to change orientation
     when the device is rotated. The default is false.
    */
    //automaticOrientation: true

    // Removes the old toolbar and enables new features of the new header.
    useDeprecatedToolbar: false

    width: units.gu(60)
    height: units.gu(85)

    actions: [
        Action {
            objectName: "action"

            // iconSource: Qt.resolvedUrl("images/avatar.jpg")
            iconName: "active-call"

            onTriggered: {
                console.log("action is clicked!");
            }
        }
    ]

    Page {
        title: i18n.tr("maiviewactions")

        Label {
            anchors.centerIn: parent
            text: "this is the label"
        }

    }
}

Thanks & best regards,
XiaoGuo

I think you misunderstood the API (or wrongly guessed its purpose). MainView.actions is a list of actions globally available in the app, originally incepted for the HUD. If you want actions to show in the header, you actually need to use Page.head.actions.
